Francesco Vezzoli is an Italian artist and filmmaker. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan and later at the School of Visual Arts in New York. His early work gained attention for its playful yet critical engagement with celebrity culture and art history.

Vezzoli's practice spans painting, embroidery, sculpture, and film. He often incorporates embroidery and collage into his works, as seen in pieces like 'Olga Forever (Olga Picasso, ca. 1930 II)', which combines oil on canvas, laserprint, and embroidery collage. His sculpture 'Nike Metafisica' is executed in Vicenza stone and bronze, reflecting his interest in classical forms and contemporary reinterpretation.

Recent recognition includes the acquisition of his work by the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco and the Museo di Santa Giulia in Brescia, Italy. In 2026, Almine Rech hosted a book signing for his publication 'Museums of Tears' on a Rhine River cruise, underscoring his ongoing engagement with the art world.
