He is known for his sculptures which combine organic and inorganic elements that pose metaphysical questions for the viewer. He has exhibited extensively and participated in a number of Venice Biennales. Anselmo’s works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art in Turin, among others.
