Hauser & Wirth New York will open its doors to Arte Povera. Curated by Ingvild Goetz, a “comprehensive overview of Italy’s innovative twentieth-century art movement, as seen through the eyes of one of its most significant collectors.” The exhibit of over 150 works were created by a group of Italian artists jointly known as ‘i poveristi‘ and coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Arte Povera movement which spans the late 1950s to the 1990s.
The exhibition is accompanied by ‘First of all I prefer thought. Arte Povera seen by Ingvild Goetz,’ a book by Hauser & Wirth Publishers featuring previously unpublished archival materials that trace the emergence of the movement, as well as newly commissioned essays from curators Douglas Fogle and Chiara Vecchiarelli.
Arte Povera. Curated by Ingvild Goetz will be on view at Hauser & Wirth New York from September 12 to October 28, 2017. The Gallery is located at 548 West 22nd Street in Chelsea.
