The Radical Concept of Presence: Piero Manzoni's Artist's Breath (1960)
Piero Manzoni’s Artist’s Breath (Fiato d'artista) remains one of the most provocative milestones of the 20th-century avant-garde. Originally produced in 1960, this conceptual masterpiece involved the artist inflating a balloon and mounting it on a wooden base, effectively turning his own biological breath into a tangible, collectible art object. By doing so, Manzoni challenged the traditional boundaries between the artist's body and the artwork itself, questioning the very definition of creativity and value.
RedKalion is proud to offer this exclusive pack of 10 premium postcards, allowing you to share or display a piece of conceptual history. Each A6 card is a museum-quality reproduction, capturing the essence of Manzoni’s radical vision with unparalleled fidelity. This set is designed for the discerning collector who appreciates the intersection of intellectual rigor and minimalist aesthetic.
