The Chalice  is an excellent mixed media artwork realized by one of the most important artist of the Arte Povera movement in Italy in 1986. The work depicts a chalice with a blue liquid content inside. Zorio's artwork shows his fascination with natural processes, alchemical transformation, and the release of energy. His sculptures, paintings, and performances are often read as metaphors for revolutionary human action, transformation, and creativity.

This work has been realized by the greet Italian artist Gilderto Zorio ( Andorno Micca , b. 1944). He is an Italian artist associated with the Italian Arte Povera movement. A lot of Zorio's early work tended toward that which the North American artist Robert Morris identified as a 'dedifferentiation' between the materials and forms of art in post minimalist sculptural practice.  Zorio's early pieces done between 1966 and 1968 concretized energy processes. Since his first exhibition at the Galleria Sperone in Turin in 1967, Gilberto Zorio's work has been linked to the history of Arte Povera. These first productions were strange objects, which were results of completed actions or ones that are still under way.  Zorio participated in the famous exhibition When Attitudes Become Form (1969), organized by Harald Szeemann in Bern.
