Emilio Prini

This first monograph on Italian artist Emilio Prini (1943–2016), a key figure of Arte Povera, explores his radical approach to art across five decades of work through texts, archival research, and artist interventions.

A collection of visual incursions by Italian artist Emilio Prini in dozens of exhibition catalogues and print publications over the course of five decades. Meticulously researched, and yet necessarily incomplete, this book is a glimpse into the subtlety with which Prini turned each engagement with the world of ideas into a joust for mastery over space, time, and form.
