Giovanni Anselmo (Italian, b.1934) is a self-taught artist known for his sculptural installations created under the Arte Povera movement. He was born in Borgofranco d?Ivrea, Italy, and ended up splitting his professional time between Turin and Stromboli, Italy. After working as a painter from 1959 to 1964, Anselmo turned to Conceptual Art in 1965, and, by 1968, joined the Italian art movement known as Arte Povera (or ?impoverished art?), the most influential avant-garde movement of the 1960s.
