Ironically Mr. Penone is known as the leading figure of the Arte Povera movement – meaning “poor art,” but there is nothing poor about these massive bronze sculptures that cost a small fortune to produce and install in this very beautiful exhibition at the Palace Versailles.
Exhibition
From 11 June to 31 October 2013, the Palace of Versailles hosts the Italian artist Giuseppe Penone for a major exhibition of contemporary art, Penone Versailles, presented mostly in the French formal gardens and also in the Palace itself.
