Work Creator notes (display):
Italian artist. A disciple of Lucio Fontana, he was a pioneer of Conceptual art and strongly influenced Arte Povera (see minimal art). Manzoni's most characteristic works included Achromes, partly influenced by the monochrome paintings of Klein, such as one produced in 1958 (Turin, Mus. Civico) which consists of a canvas covered only with white kaolin. For him everything could be a work of art simply through 'being', without any representative or expressive qualities. He also extended this potential for artistic status to people in his Magic Base (1961; Venice, Attilio Codognato Coll.), which converted anyone who stood on it into a work of art. His desire to subvert traditional artistic concepts culminated in the canning of his own excrement, which he then presented to the public as Artist's Shit (1961; Zurich, Woog-Institut). http://www.groveart… accessed 2008-06-12>
