This event has ended.

Leonard Tourné Gallery specializes in established and emerging contemporary artists from around the globe and they are showcasing a selection of Fortuna Szpiro’s stone sculptures in their gallery and its beautiful outdoor patio.

“Stone is full of mysteries and surprises. Even though it appears at first as an incoherent mass of grey matter,
it possesses its own logic and harmony, which it reveals only gradually during the sculpting process.”

To Szpiro, the choice of material is paramount and she carves stones of various colors, textures and shapes
from all over the world, including Brazil, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, US, Israel and Afganistan.
Szpiro never titles her work so one can interpret freely and find beauty in the abstract form.
You are welcome to connect with the sculpture through touch for an even more powerful art encounter.

Although Fortuna has been living in NYC for three years, she has a colorful background beginning in Lebanon
where she was born in a Jewish neighborhood in Beirut. After the Six Day War, her family immigrated to Israel.
Szpiro studied at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and served as press attaché at the French Consulate in
Jerusalem for seventeen years. After years of sculpting as a hobby, she made it her full-time profession
and currently works at the famed Art Students League.
