Gagosian is pleased to present Impronte di corpi nell’aria / Bodies Imprinted in the Air, an exhibition of works by Giuseppe Penone made between the early 1970s and 2021.

In an oeuvre spanning more than fifty years, Penone has continually expanded the parameters of art through a close examination of the interplay between the human body and nature. Since the beginning of his career in the late 1960s, as a proponent of the Arte Povera movement, he has employed and juxtaposed materials both ancient and modern, “raw” and manufactured—including bronze, leather, wood, stone, and acacia thorns. The exhibition’s title comes from a series of new sculptures in bronze and marble that evoke the growth of plant life out of stone, as though from earth.

September 16-November 27, 2021
