1980 – iron, rags, wood, canvases
The artwork, composed of salvaged materials, is composed of four distinct parts: a large sphere of broken canvases with a scythe on top, a battering ram, a stable trough, and a large “tail” of colorful rags, with an iron crest, which in fact resembles a head more than a tail. The tail, resembling a body made of rags with a raised head, is a proclamation of Arte Povera’s challenge to those who had predicted that this was the beginning of the end of the movement.
