PARIS - Preserved for 45 years in a private collection, a rare work from Jannis Kounellis's "Alfabeti" series resurfaces. Kounellis, a key member of the Arte Povera movement, radically freed symbols from their traditional roles, transforming letters and numbers into abstract and powerful icons. Through a conversation between art historian Jacopo Veneziani and senior contemporary art specialist Renato Pennisi, discover this 1959 creation, which explores language beyond its conventional meaning, inviting the viewer to a unique visual and mnemonic experience.
