Contemporaneous to the investigations of the Italian Arte Povera movement, Pesce’s radical experimentation with industrial and everyday materials such as polyurethanes and poured resins broke the mold of standardization. Pesce has taught at several institutions including Cooper Union in New York and the Institut d'Architecture et d'Etudes Urbaines in Strasbourg. His work is included in the permanent collections of museums worldwide such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California; The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Pesce currently lives and works in New York.
