This book was published to accompany Kounellis’ 2016 Paris exhibition.

Cofounder and one of the most important representatives of Arte Povera, Kounellis designed a completely new, open work of art for the venerable halls of the 18th-century Paris Mint (La Monnaie de Paris) – one of the oldest, still-running manufacturing institutions in France – with a mix of historical and recent works amounting to a concise survey show that resisted the tropes of the retrospective exhibition genre.
