Francesco Vezzoli

In his early works from 1994 to 1996, he reenvisioned twentieth-century masterpieces by Mark Rothko and Josef Albers as modest-sized hand stitched petit point embroideries.

That same year, he staged Luigi Pirandello's Right You Are (If You Think You Are) at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum,[4][5] starring Abigail Breslin, Cate Blanchett and Dianne Wiest.
