13 French fold volumes in original wraps in a slipcase. 25 x 27.5 x 7.8 cm. 490pp.This monograph is the most comprehensive survey of Giuseppe Penone's work to date.In a monumental oeuvre spanning more than forty years, Penone has explored and expanded our understanding of what constitutes sculpture through the interplay between the human body, nature, and art. His work represents a poetic expansion of Post-Minimalism's, and specifically, Arte Povera's radical break with conventional media, emphasizing the transformative logic involved in the processes of respiration, growth, and aging that are common to all living beings.Housed in a box, the four new essays and conversation are collected in one volume, while twelve insightful texts investigate the main typologies that can be found as organizing principles in the work.About The Authors:Carlos Basualdo is Keith L. and Katherine Sachs Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Emily Braun is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, New York. She has curated the Leonard A. Lauder Collection of Cubist Art and the exhibition Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting (2016) for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Timothy Ingold is Chair in Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. Rémi Labrusse is Professor of Contemporary Art History at the Université Paris Nanterre. Salvatore Settis is an archaeologist and art historian and chairs the Scientific Council of the Musée du Louvre. He is the former Director of the Getty Research Institute of Los Angeles and of the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. Daniela Lancioni is a curator at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome. Years in the making, The Inner Life of Forms is the most comprehensive survey of Penone's work to date. The book?which includes many images and works published for the first time?consists of two components. The first contains a three-part, in-depth dialogue between Penone and Carlos Basualdo; an essay by Tim Ingold, accompanying a selection of images by the artist of his works on paper; an essay by Rémi Labrusse on Penone's origins and the topography of the region that has so informed his work; an essay by Emily Braun on Penone's work in relation to the field of ecocriticism; and an essay by Salvatore Settis, who draws Penone's work into dialogue with classical and preclassical history.The second component comprises a series of twelve individual booklets exploring the core themes and interests of Penone's oeuvre. Eleven new texts by longtime Penone scholar and collaborator Daniela Lancioni investigate the organizing principles within the artist's practice. Each individual booklet deals with one of the eleven "typologies" of his work, from "ideas of stone" to "breath." Each text, including an introductory booklet, has an original drawing by the artist on its cover.…
