Giuseppe Penone began his studies in sculpture at the Accademia Albertina (Italy), and is considered one of the leading names in the art. poveraThe Italian movement, dating from the second half of the 1960s, was interested in some principles that still guide the artist's production today: the idea of work as a process and the use of unconventional materials and elements in the field of art.
Dynamics present in nature, such as the passage of time and climate change, are recurring themes in his work. Some of his pieces are sculptural interventions carried out directly in nature. In 2014, he received the Praemium Imperiale International Arts Award (Japan), and his exhibitions include participation in editions of the Venice Biennale (Italy) and Documenta in Kassel (Germany).
