  1. I’m searching for an installation of an American artist, Benjamin Leal. It has been described to me as ‘sound art’. It is housed in the National Gallery of Rome.

    • I think you should contact the Museum directly. On the official site (the link is at the bottom of my article) there are contacts to talk with the information office and also with the archive 🙂

  2. Hi Caterina

    I am trying to fine the name and the artist of one of the painting on a plywood (it shows two faces and a pencil balancing on a finger). It was next to the dino skeleton [one of the pictures in this post]. Could you please help me to find it out?
