Mr. Porcu’s dynamic, impassioned and intelligent lectures are legendary throughout the artistic community. This is a great chance to learn from a true master of the subject.

In 2013, Mr. Porcu’s sculpture, commissioned by The New York Historic Society, was unveiled by singer and fine artist Tony Bennet in New York City. Photos from the event can be seen here.
