Giuseppe PenoneSève et pensée

This catalogue offers an immersion into the world of Giuseppe Penone, a visual artist associated with the arte povera movement. His flagship work, Sève et pensée, is presented for the first time: a monumental installation created by rubbing a thirty-metre long acacia trunk on a fine linen canvas, the fruit of fifty years of reflection and creation on subjects dear to the artist: nature, memory and the book.
