But while art remained a passionate hobby for him, Lorenzo is happiest when he can work alone and uninterrupted in his studio. The sculptor seems to drift into his own fantasy world, leaving the pressures of daily life behind.The Unicredit Art Collection at the Marta Herford MuseumWe report on the Marta Herford Museum and its exhibition of 80 works from the Unicredit Art collection, one of the most comprehensive corporate collections in Europe.
