Piero Manzoni
Piero Manzoni (Italy, 1933–1963) was an avant-garde artist renowned for his provocative conceptual works that challenged traditional art forms. His most infamous piece, 'Artist's Shit' (1961), consisted of 90 sealed cans purportedly containing his own excrement, questioning the value and commercialization of art. Manzoni's innovative approach significantly influenced the development of conceptual art.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
