Marian Goodman Gallery at Frieze Masters 2014

FRIEZE MASTERS 2014 - MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY LONDON
Giovanni Anselmo, Giulio Paolini and Giuseppe Penone
15 - 19 October

Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by Giovanni Anselmo, Giulio Paolini and Giuseppe Penone which marks the gallery's debut presentation at Frieze Masters, presenting works made between 1965-1999. These three Italian artists have formed a core aspect of the gallery program for nearly 30 years.

All three artists are based in Turin and their respective practices chart the history and trajectory of modern Italian art production, including varying degrees of association with the Arte Povera movement. Arte Povera, a title granted by the curator Germano Celant to unify the revolutionary work being made around Italy in the 1960s, took a radical political and economic stance. Artists began attacking the values of established institutions of government, industry, and culture and rejecting the quasi-precious art making materials of oil paint, marble or bronze. Arte Povera brought focus to a wide range of other natural, throwaway materials including soil, rocks and trees which disrupted and challenged the perceived industrialisation and commercialisation of the art market and gallery system.
