Description for Piero Manzoni
Paperback. Originally published in Italian in 2013, this new English-language biography of Piero Manzoni provides an in-depth look at the personal and artistic life of this essential Italian artist. Translator(s): Miller, Peter Benson. Num Pages: 256 pages, 110 black and white illustrations. BIC Classification: ACXJ5; AGB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 216. Weight in Grams: 367.
Immediately upon his death in 1963 at the age of thirty, Piero Manzoni s reputation as a provocateur and wild child preceded him, with his most subversive work, Artist s Shit, 1961, elevating him to cult status. But what actually came before, and lay behind those thirty grams of pure artistic output? Flaminio Gualdoni sets out to explore exactly that in this biography that traces the guiding themes of Manzoni s works, lending order to a jumble of hitherto fragmented materials and setting aside any apocryphal hypotheses.
