ARTIST AND INVENTOR, PAUL PUCCIO OPENS GALLERY IN MANHATTAN’S UPPER EAST SIDE

Every object, every form, every sculpture born from his skill and imagination has a distinct mark and style that is his alone, recognizable and inimitable



The opening of Puccio Gallery does not, however, mark the beginning of his career. His work has been recognized by many over the years. One-of-a-kind Puccio pieces have recently been created for Oprah Winfrey and Governor George Pataki.    
“We first started out with this wild idea, who knew that it would turn out to be such a magnificent creation,” said Winfrey of her Puccio creation. “It is simply one of the finest pieces of craftsmanship I’ve ever seen.”



    
Also an inventor, Puccio patented a system in the United States to structurally fortify stone so he would be able to create designs and forms never before possible in marble and onyx. A nine-foot, scratch resistant onyx extension table on display at the gallery is an example of the type of work Puccio’s patented system makes possible.



After a lifetime of work, creativity and imagination his dream of owning his own gallery has become a reality. “When my niece told me about this location, an old Chinese restaurant, I immediately had a vision of what we could transform the space into.” Following eight months of renovation “we can now enjoy the neighbor’s amazement as they peek in the windows,” says Ms. Lucia Giudice, Mr. Puccio’s niece as well as the Gallery Director.    
“To see my uncle’s work brings a look of wonderment and amazement to peoples’ faces. I am thrilled to be a part of his project.”
