Giancarlo Neri is a sculptor born in Naples in 1955. Perhaps his best-known work is The Writer, a 9-metre-high table and chair made from steel plated with wood, a piece about writer's block. It has been exhibited in Rome and on Hampstead Heath in London in 2005.[1] The structure was dismantled in Hampstead Heath four months later and sent back to Italy.[2]
At one time he played professional soccer for the New York Apollo of the American Soccer League.
