Jannis Kounellis

10 Oct, 2026 - 17 Jan, 2027

Collezione Giancarlo e Danna Olgiati

Jannis Kounellis: Io sono un pittore offers an in-depth look at the artist’s long career through over 30 works created between the 1960s and 2016. Rather than following a strict timeline, the exhibition links themes like matter, language, memory, and silence, inviting you to view Kounellis’s art from a fresh perspective. This approach challenges the usual perception of him as a key figure in Arte Povera. The curation is thoughtful and engaging, encouraging reflection on the layers behind each piece. The exhibition appeals to anyone interested in contemporary art that moves beyond traditional forms and narratives. It offers a chance to see how Kounellis blends materials and ideas in ways that provoke thought without overwhelming. Whether you visit alone or with friends, you’ll likely appreciate the quiet intensity and subtle connections throughout the works. This is not just a retrospective but an invitation to engage with art that speaks in unexpected ways.
