Few artists have combined conceptual ingenuity with devastating
critique as deftly and wittily as Piero Manzoni (1933-1963). Fifty
years after his death at the tender age of 29, Manzoni remains
unsurpassed as a provocateur: his "Artist's Breath" and "Artist's
Shit" editions, which now sell for hundreds of thousands of
dollars, are unanswerable satirical attacks on art-world economics
and values, and his designations of various persons (such as
Umberto Eco and Marcel Broodthaers) as "living artworks" prefigure
many strains in performance art. Manzoni thus effected some of the
most decisive paradigm shifts in postwar art, something for which
he is only rarely given full credit. This comprehensive survey
accompanies a major retrospective at the Stadel in Frankfurt (the
first major Manzoni retrospective outside Italy in more than two
decades), and is published on the occasion of what would have been
his eightieth birthday. It reproduces more than 100 works from all
phases of the artist's brief but massively influential career, from
his early Klein-influenced monochromes (or "Achromes") and the Art
Informel years to his role as a leading member of the Zero group
(alongside Mack, Piene, Tinguely, Klein, Fontana) and beyond.
