Jannis Kounellis
@ Gavin Brown's
enterprise

— 

A man in exile,
wandering the
world in the
aftermath of war.
’ 

Born: 
(1936–2017) —
Piraeus, Greece. 

The exhibition:
 
Presents Kounellis's 
historic works; 
the backdrops to
his childhood were
World War II and
ten years of civil
war in Greece —
alongside works
from the last few
years of the artist's
life in Rome, where
he was an active
member of the
Arte Povera
movement. 

"
Kounellis rejected
the 
notion of a 
post-war society. 
To him, war and
its trauma 
linger in
the 
social psyche 
indefinitely.”
