Italian · b. 1933
Conceptual Art
DESCRIPTION
Piero Manzoni was a radical conceptual artist who famously questioned the nature of the art object through works like 'Artist's Shit' (Merda d'artista). His career was cut short at age 29, but his 'Achrome' paintings and use of the body as a medium were immensely influential.
