John Giorno - Welcoming The Flowers

The exhibition 'Ugo Rondinone: I ♥︎ John Giorno' (2015) was the first international retrospective of the life and work of John Giorno. Long-time collaborator and husband of the late artist, Ugo Rondinone had imagined the exhibition as a work in itself, blending poetry, visual art, music and performance. The “I” in the exhibition’s title referred to a collective “I”, with Ugo Rondinone inviting everyone to share and feel the spiritual and political commitment of this emblematic figure of American counterculture.
