Giulio Paolini
Genoa, Italy 1940
Italian artist, painter, and sculptor, originally from Genoa, who moved to Turin and specialized in graphic arts. Often associated with the Arte Povera movement, he is more closely aligned with Conceptual Art. In the 1980s, his works began to display recurring characteristics such as citation, duplication, and fragmentation, as well as references to art history and literature. His research later focused on analyzing the relationship between the artwork and the viewer, creating a line of communication in which the viewer becomes as much a protagonist as the finished work itself.
