About the Item

2 Rare, Original Artist Made Hanging Lighted Sculptures / Chandeliers / Pendants in the style of Jannis Kounellis, Italy, circa 1970. Priced and Sold as Individual Pieces. These unique Italian Mid-Century Modern pieces are composed of steel wire, patinated in silver and lighted on the interior to reflect light through the prism of wire. These exceptional works reflect the "Arte Povera" movement that defined Italian art and sculpture circa 1962-1975 period. Arte Povera (Poor Art) rose as a reaction to rigid abstraction prevalent in Italian art and social conditions in Italian society. It used inexpensive everyday, industrial and native natural materials to create stunning, inscrutable and whimsical works of art that challenged the nature of art itself and reacted against industrial production and increasing consumerism. The fact these sculptures / "chandeliers" are made of such simple materials and simply bound into non-linear, organic forms concentrates their nature and gives them power. "From non-being comes being". They are emblems of latte 1960's/ early 70's culture and it is remarkable that they also function perfectly as beautiful objects and chandeliers. H 47 x D 22.5; overall H including pipe or chain is 57”. Please note: These are Priced and Sold as Individually. Additional References: Dada, Anti-Art, Post-Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Fluxus, Earth Art, Land Art, Nouveau Realism, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Mario Merz, Giuseppe Penone, Pino Pascali, Jannis Kounellis, Yves Klein, Joseph Beuys, Kurt Schwitters.
