Cardi Gallery

Today we celebrate the birthday of Jannis Kounellis, a pioneering figure of Arte Povera whose work continues to hold a strong and thoughtful presence.

Kounellis redefined the language of contemporary art by bringing raw materials into dialogue with history, memory, and space. His practice challenged conventions and invited us to experience art as something alive, physical, and deeply human.

On this day, we honor his enduring legacy and the profound impact of his vision.

Cardi Gallery is delighted to announce its participation in the upcoming edition of Frieze Los Angeles.

Join us in LA as we present a focused selection of works celebrating key voices in modern and contemporary art. We look forward to welcoming you at our booth.

Today marks the opening of the inaugural edition of Art Basel Qatar.
Cardi Gallery is delighted to participate with a large-scale installation by Jannis Kounellis.
Originally conceived in 2003 as a site-specific work, Senza titolo presents a vertical sequence of suspended weighing scales supporting fragile arrangements of found objects. A recurring element in Kounellis’ oeuvre, the scale operates as a poetic device through which balance, chance, and material presence evoke histories of movement, trade, and cultural exchange.
Through fragmentation and juxtaposition, the installation opens a space beyond narrative, where objects retain their historical and symbolic weight, inviting reflection shaped by sensibility and memory.
