Born in 1947 in Italy.

Considered since 1968 as one of the leaders of Arte Povera, Giuseppe Penone has since pursued an artistic practice in which artifice and nature are closely intermingled.

He made himself known not only for bronzes with anthropomorphic forms, but also for pieces in which he intervenes directly on the natural world. This is notably so with the Arbres series in which, hollowing out wooden beams, he rediscovers the memory of the original tree with its branches and knots. These last years, human presence has made itself more present in his sculptures, notably through fragments of faces such as the mouth, nose or ears.
