Untitled 1968

Jannis Kounellis's "Untitled" (1968) is a prime example of Arte Povera, an Italian art movement that emerged in the late 1960s. This artwork, made from found objects, features a wooden ladder with ragged strips of fabric hanging from it. The simple yet powerful use of everyday materials emphasizes the raw, natural elements in a Minimalist style. Kounellis's work often explored themes of poverty, fragility, and the passage of time, challenging traditional art notions and questioning societal values.
