Luciano Fabro

Fragility as monument

Luciano Fabro was an Italian artist associated with Arte Povera, known for works that reinterpret classical forms and cultural symbols through unexpected materials. His “Italia” series uses marble, metal, and fabric to distort or suspend the outline of Italy, transforming national motif into sculptural idea.

Fabro’s practice embraces delicacy and exactness, revealing how material, proportion, and gesture produce meaning.
