Michelangelo Pistoletto lives and works in Biella, Italy. He is one of the most influential artists of his generation and a pioneer of the Arte Povera movement. For over half a century, Pistoletto has sought to merge art and life through sculptural installations, experimental performances, and, most famously, his iconic mirror paintings, which serve as the foundation of his artistic practice. His work appears in the most important collections worldwide, including: MoMA, Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Gallery, Washington, D.C.; the Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin; Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Roma; Metropolitan Museum, New York, Chicago Art Institute, Chicago; Magazzino Italian Art, Cold Spring/New York; Gallerie degli Uffizi, Florence; British Museum, London, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Museo del Novecento, Milan; Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan; Fondazione Prada, Milan; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Museo MADRE, Naples; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia; Castello di Rivoli, Turin; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul; Parkview Museum, Singapore.
