The art of Paolo Icaro makes an utterly original contribution to the languages that developed in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Arte Povera, Conceptual Art and Process Art, with particular impact on the renewal of contemporary sculpture. This monograph edited by Lara Conte is based on a decade of research conducted on the works and materials of the Archivio Icaro. It retraces the entire creative path of the artist in a thematic itinerary aimed at shedding light on his poetics from the 1960s to the present. The book brings together a large body of previously unpublished materials, along with writings by the artist, a critical anthology and bio-bibliographic resources.
