Was born in Corrientes in 1953, he learned sculpture with his father; studied architecture, and
between his 20s and 50s he lived in different parts of the world such as: South Africa, Spain
(Madrid, Lanzarote), USA (New York, where he sets up his studio in 1978) are the first points of
his life itinerary. He spends some seasons working in Carrara (Italy) and traveled to Spain, Italy,
Argentina, France, and Switzerland. He exhibits his work regularly around the world and begins
to carry out public work for government assignments. At the beginning of the 1990s, he settled
in Madrid, where he produced a series of works in lead. In In 1993 he returns to New York and
organizes the international sculpture garden in Chelsea. In 1995 he decides to leave the scene of
the art and its mundane aspects, to seclude him in the work of the workshop. In 1998 he moved
to Mexico City, where he developed techniques for the casting of bronze and stone
technologies, for application in sculpture and architecture. In 2004 he returns to Buenos Aires to
work in cast iron, aluminum, bronze, stones and wood. What the viewer first notices is the
mastery of materials: iron, embedded stainless steel; wood (sometimes burned), marble,
aluminum, marble, onyx, rawhide, fiberglass, branches, bark, bronze… each with certain patinas
that give meaning to the works. All the materials are combined in a contrasting way, in which
they play the very meanings of the material, its autonomy, resistance, visual texture.
Farco’s work is that of an artist who chooses to include himself in the great sculptural tradition.
His theme is humanism \u2013 life and human destiny\u2013, the relationship between nature and culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4196,"template":"","tags":[259,266,300,271,297],"class_list":["post-4197","artistas","type-artistas","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cuerpos-en","tag-ecologia-en","tag-metal-en","tag-escultura-en","tag-madera-en","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas\/4197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artistas"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
