What They're Saying

Critics Review

“This is now the definitive English-language sourcebook on Merz, Pistoletto, Paolini and company, thanks to its rich selection of images and texts.“—Bookforum

“Get hold of Arte Povera… It is both compendium and critique, with artists’ statements, a chronology and commentary. It contextualizes the work, and the pictures are great.“—Adrian Searle, Guardian

“Phaidon’s Themes and Movements series seeks to provide the late 20th-century art history books of the future.“—Art Monthly
