The definitive monograph on the work of sculptor theorist and Arte Povera pioneer Luciano
Fabro Luciano Fabro (1936-2007) was an original member of Arte Povera the materials- and
experience-based art movement that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s. He went on to be
exhibited internationally becoming the first artist from the group to receive a major US
retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1992. Fabro's work is elusive yet
he remains a critical favorite: in 2018 the leading art publication The Brooklyn Rail
dedicated an entire issue to Fabro wherein Dia Art Foundation director Jessica Morgan
commented that Fabro's oeuvre presented 'a marriage of the modern and the antique [...] as
surprising and compelling today as at its moment of production.' Written by esteemed critic and
curator Margit Rowell who collaborated with Fabro repeatedly in his later years this
comprehensive heavily illustrated monograph is the first complete overview of Fabro's career
published with the full support and participation of the artist's estate and international
galleries.
