{"title":"Jannis Kounellis","description":"\u003cp\u003eJannis Kounellis (1936–2017) — Greek-born, Rome-based artist and central figure of Arte Povera. Working from the late 1950s onward, Kounellis built an art of material confrontation: coal, burlap, steel, fire, live animals, and the body placed in direct relation to institutional space. His 1969 installation at Galleria L’Attico, Rome — twelve live horses in the gallery — remains one of the defining gestures of postwar European art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKounellis worked against the dematerialisation of the art object and against the neutrality of the white cube. His materials carried weight, history, and industrial memory.
