Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

Caio Fonseca comes from a family of artists - his father is Uruguayan sculptor Gonzalo Fonseca. Caio was raised in New York City, and in 1978 went to Barcelona, where, until 1983, he studied with Augusto Torres and painted. In 1985 he moved to Pietrasanta, in northern Tuscany in Italy, where he worked until 1989. In the 1990s he returned to New York, and now divides his time between his Manhattan studio and his studio in Pietrasanta.
