Italian artist Luciano Fabro was one of the defining pioneers of the postwar Italian movement of Arte Povera, working across diverse media including sculpture and conceptual art. Fabro’s usage of unconventional materials and a revolutionary understanding of sculptural form underscored his significance as a landmark in postwar Italian art; he was the first member of Arte Povera to be the subject of a major United States retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1992.
