In 1969 he delivered courses of sculpture in Yale University, New Haven and in 1971-1972 and taught in Brooklyn College while at the same time in 1977 he gave a series of lectures in Rome. He explores from the start of his career a variety of means, from the sculpture and the painting up to the photograph and the installation, being indifferent to the discriminations between high or low art. His recognition by the artistic world of N. York begins in 1971 in the retrospective exhibition of Boxes in Museum of Contemporary Art and in 1972 in Whitney Museum of American Art. He could be characterized as the extreme child of artistic scene of N. York, while after he accomplishes 40 years of career he still reverses all expectations and goes always against the current.
