The catalog documents the installations created by Jannis Kounellis in Bari: works, in some cases large-sized, which come from the artist’s expressive repertoire, both from a material point of view (iron plates, jute bags, coal), and conceptual (such as the coat, which symbolizes the human figure). These highly dramatic works present the dialectic between structure and matter, between geometric and organic shapes, recurring elements in the artist’s poetics. Alongside these recent creations, the volume also presents historical works by the artist.
