Since 1987 he has achieved international recognition and his works have been requested by galleries in Japan , the United States , Australia and Germany . In 1988 he founded "Kostabi World": his studio, gallery and office in New York. This structure, thanks to many assistants, produces around 1000 paintings a year, all of which are signed by the master. Since 1996 he has divided his life between New York and Rome where he has become a model for many Italian artists. In his paintings there are some real constants, such as the citation of other works and the depiction of faceless subjects that recall the figures of De Chirico's mannequins. ^[1] In recent years he has dedicated himself to the design of advertising brands including Swatch watches, espresso cups, computer accessories and recently ^{[ unclear ]} he recreated the pink jersey of the Giro d'Italia .
