Published in conjunction with the first major retrospective following the death of Greek Arte Povera artist Jannis Kounellis (1936–2017), this biographical survey constructs a full exhibition history, highlighting key moments in Kounellis’ influential 50-year career.
 
“Jannis Kounellis”, curated by Germano Celant, is the major retrospective dedicated to the artist following his death in 2017. Developed in collaboration with Archivio Kounellis, the project brings together more 60 works from 1959 to 2015, from both Italian and international museums , as well as from important private collections both in Italy and abroad. The show explores the artistic and exhibition history of Jannis Kounellis (Piraeus 1936 – Rome 2017), establishing a dialogue between his works and the eighteenth-century spaces of Ca’ Corner della Regina.
