Pomodoro, 39, started out making modern jewelry. Slowly his self-taught attempts at sculpture drew recognition, until prizes at the 1963 Sāo Paulo and 1964 Venice biennials won his works places in London's Tate and New York's Museum of Modern Art. For Pomodoro, the starting point is always solid geometry; the tension begins as he scars and gouges out his spheres, cylinders, cubes and disks.
