On view through April 6, 2024, Upper East Side gallery Michael Werner is presenting a solo exhibition of work by seminal Italian artist Piero Manzoni. A pioneering figure in the birth and trajectory of both performance and conceptual art, Manzoni is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Included in the show are some of the artist’s most pivotal works, including pieces from his “Achrome” series of the late 1950s and early 1960s and Magic Base – Living Sculpture (1961). The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, which includes a text by art historian Martin Engler.
