Jannis Kounellis, a Greek-born
master of Italy's influential 'Arte Povera' (Poor Art) movement,
died Thursday in Rome aged 80.
The painter and sculptor was born in Greece but lived in Rome
from the age of 20.
He debuted in Rome in 1960 with his first personal show.
In 1972 he took part for the first time in the Venice
Biennale and went on to become a world-famous artist, exhibiting
all over the globe.
