A Portrait of the Artist, His Face Obscured by a Giant Leaf

Gorgoni came to the United States 39 years ago with the intention of creating a photographic essay on New York artists and then returning home to Italy. He became so involved in the project that he ended up staying in New York, where a chance encounter with Robert Rauschenberg in 1969 led to an introduction to Leo Castelli and his stable of artists.
