Piero Manzoni: Materials & Lines

This publication comprises two volumes that showcase the multifaceted work of Piero Manzoni, a prominent postwar Italian artist who is recognized as a pioneer of Conceptualism. In the first volume, 'Materials,' readers can explore Manzoni's extensive body of work that spanned different media and techniques, including sewn cloth, fiberglass, synthetic and natural fur, cobalt chloride, stones, and more. The second volume, 'Lines,' focuses on Manzoni's renowned Achromes - colorless paintings that sought to remove any emotional expression from his work. The volumes feature art historical essays and archival material, making this a comprehensive resource on the artist's oeuvre.
