Jannis Kounellis — Untitled: 70 Black Coats

10 Corso Como gallery in Milan presents Untitled, a display by Jannis Kounellis. The central work, created in 2009, consists of seventy black coats arranged within the gallery's white space.

By elevating an everyday garment, the installation becomes a testimony to absence, memory and movement. The minimalist presentation removes distractions and emphasizes the symbolic charge of common objects, referencing Kounellis's connection to Arte Povera and his use of ordinary materials to address both personal and social histories.
