| book description |

First published in Italian in 2022, as Giuseppe Penone, Alain Elkann: 474 Risposte, this book brings together conversations between the renowned Italian novelist and journalist, Alain Elkann, and the Italian artist, Giuseppe Penone, which took place in the latter s studio in Turin, Italy, between August and October 2020. Penone discusses his childhood in north-west Italy, his family, and his lifelong love of nature. He describes his early career as the youngest of the artists associated with Arte Povera, his formative experiences in the art world, and key figures he has met and collaborated with along the way. He discusses some of the most significant projects which have taken him to galleries and museums all over the world. These intimate and informal conversations shed light on Penone s interests and influences, his respect and fascination for nature, and his experimentation with materials and media. The book is brought to life by ample illustrations drawn from the artist s archives of works being made, travels and events, friends and family. With great eloquence these answers combine to offer an extensive insight into Penone s enquiring mind and the passions that have motivated him throughout a career spanning over fifty years.
