Jannis Kounellis
Jannis Kounellis was born in Piraeus in Greece and has lived and worked in Rome since 1956.
He was a seminal contributor to the radically and internationally influential Arte Povera group. Often epic in scale, Kounellis’s work possesses a grandeur that reflects his frequent choice of themes and ideas from the past and particularly from Ancient Greece. (© Tate, London 2016)
