Giuseppe Penone

Giuseppe Penone’s artistic debut dates back to 1968, when he held his first exhibitions at the Deposito d'Arte Presente and at the Sperone gallery in Turin. He was one of the leading figures of Arte Povera, the critical approach developed by Germano Celant, and began obtaining National and International awards as a very young man. He taught at Paris’ École des Beaux-arts. His works can be admired in some of the world’s most prestigious museums, such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, the Basel Kunstalle, the Stadelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Musée Rodin and Centre Pompidou in Paris.
