Between 1986 and 1987 he had a studio in New York City, and had various exhibitions including a solo display at the Queens Museum. In 1985 he participated in the show on Italian art at the Hirshhorn Museum of Washington DC and the Akron Art Museum in Ohio, and in 1987 at the Avant-Garde in the Eighties exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The Cause

The "Associazione AmicidiSean"—FriendsofSean Association—was founded to support Sean Hadfield and other people with his condition. Sean is a 24-year-old man who, at the age of 9, suffered an irreversible spinal cord injury, leaving him in a wheelchair. Due to the injury, he needs 24-hour care, which carries a high financial cost.

The objective of the association is to offer people with disabilities the highest quality of life possible with all the necessary care needed. The FriendsofSean Association also commits itself to giving a percentage of its funds raised to the Hospital Nacional de Paraplejicos de Toledo in Spain.
