Catalogue Note
"Quando insegnavo scenografia all'Accademia, Kounellis è stato mio allievo. Kounellis appartiene a questa sfera [dell'Arte Concettuale] ma ha un senso innato della forma. Il concettuale lo realizza in modo espressionistico, scenografico perché a suo modo crede nella forma, nei rapporti tra vuoto e pieno, tra spazio e spazio, tra colore e colore. E questa è la sua forza rispetto ad altri concettuali che vanno vaneggiando. Kounellis riesce a dare commozione".
