Richard Wilson was born in London, Great Britain, in 1953, and he still lives and works there.
He's one of the most famous English sculptors. Almost all Wilson's works of art are site-specific but re-adaptable to any definite architectonic space. His presentations explore space and mutation, show the fusion between object and interest of analysis and, by observing human habitat, show how a re-configuration or crossbreeding could reactivate a sleeping sensitivity. Wilson's approach to architecture and objects which creates a new assembly of all or of some components highlights the incongruity between the real and the artificial, between the object and its image, thus assuring a crowding-out effect.

Among Wilson's most important recent presentations, it's worth mentioning his participation in the Venice Biennial in 1986. In 1989, his one-man show was presented at the Museum of Modern Art of Oxford and, in 1994, at the MOCA of Los Angeles. In 1996, he was invited to take part in Sidney Biennial and, in 1998, he presented a one-man show at the Tate Gallery of London. In 2002, he participated in the exhibition entitled Thinking Big: 21st Century British Sculpture, presented at the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation in Venice. In 2004, his video was shown in the "caveau" of the Palazzo delle Papesse in Siena. In 2005 and 2006, he took part in several events in Japan, in the Yokohama Triennale, and in China, at the Royal Academy Summer Show.

Wilson's relationship with Galleria Fumagalli began in 2004 with the presentation of a work of art in the exhibition AAVV: 30.
His one-man show will be presented at the gallery by 2005.
