abstract:Giuseppe Penone (born April 3, 1947) is an Italian artist. Penone started working professionally in 1968 in the Garessio forest, near where he was born.
But many of these works, such as Giuseppe Penone's "Project for Contact Lenses" (1972), in which he photographed himself outfitted with mirrored contact lenses, fail to rise above the usual flotsam of the period.
