Michelangelo Pistoletto was born in Biella in 1933. As well as being a major figure in the Arte Povera movement, he has achieved recognition as an object and action artist. During his time in the Arte Povera movement, which peaked throughout Italy’s major cities from 1967-1972, he aimed to question the values of established industrial, governmental, and cultural institutions. Pistoletto’s art uses everyday materials to address the concepts of reflection and artistic unification, with reference to the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk – an ideal or total work of art.
