In 1967 the Italian critic, Germano Celant, coined the phrase 'arte povera' to describe the work of this group. The term has never successfully been translated but 'povera' or 'poor' evokes both the group's anti-hierarchical approach to materials and their radical social and political attitudes. Working in Milan, Turin and Rome, they collectively explored an enormously wide range of media, from such humble raw materials as coal or wool to manufactured and seductive ones such as silk or glass. They worked with living creatures and live energy sources and adopted a highly experimental approach to processes and techniques. Arte Povera, Zero to Infinity not only brings to London iconic works which have never been seen here before but also includes a number of works from Italian private collections which will be shown in public for the first time since the 1960s.
