Emerging out of the Arte Povera movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, the work of Giovanni Anselmo has stood the test of time, and his sculptures have pushed the boundaries of art for more than three decades. Anselmo creates sculpture using a diverse array of materials: stone, wood, earth, cotton and even lettuce, as well as installations using slide projections. His work attempts to resolve the tensions between concepts such as the particular and the infinite, or nature and art, and does so with a remarkable combination of force and delicacy.
