Piero Gilardi (born 1942) looms large in the annals of the European postwar avant-garde. A pioneer of Arte Povera and a promoter of Richard Long and Jan Dibbets, who also introduced American artists such as Bruce Nauman or Eva Hesse to a European audience, Gilardi is also a political activist. This retrospective monograph surveys his many activities.
