In 1972, Giulio Paolini held an
exhibition in New York. Art historian, curator, and critic Germano
Celant, who coined the term ‘Arte Povera’ in 1967, was asked to edit the
exhibition catalogue. What followed was an ample monograph that covered
the course of Paolini’s career - his concepts, themes, contexts and
influences. This was an unprecedented move, as, until that time, most
galleries produced simple brochures. This monograph was one of the first
in-depth and scholarly studies of a contemporary artist, and as such,
paved the way for future monographs.
