Gaetano Pesce: Pieces From A Larger Puzzle

Pieces From A Larger Puzzle, the first retrospective in the Western United States of architect, artist, and designer Gaetano Pesce, celebrates the maestro of art-design and his years of experimenting and creating works with polyurethane foam, resin, and plastics. The exhibition is on view through August 31 at the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles. Many of the designer's most iconic pieces, including also his most recent work, his limited-edition plastic shoes from the Brazilian company Melissa are displayed.
