Mario Merz

A major figure in the Arte Povera movement, the Italian artist Mario Merz’s work combines a fascination with the material and metaphorical qualities of natural objects with ideas regarding infinity and repetition.

Much of his work was based around the Fibonacci sequence, a formula often used to express mathematical sequences in nature. (© Tate, London 2016)
