How to build? The Modernist book Architecture of the 20th century from the Marzona collection Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - Old hall Exhibition: 09 October 2003 - 02 February 2004 Opening Hours: Daily 10:00 am - 7:00 pm, Wed until 9:00 pm Opening: Wednesday 8 October 2003, 7pm Tickets: EUR 5.- / EUR 3,50.- (Students) Egidio Marzona has a worldwide reputation as an art collector. The Bielefeld-born Italian has been collecting Minimal Art, Arte Povera, Conceptual Art and Land Art since 1968. Only recently part of his collection, comprising over 1000 works of art, was purchased for the Nationalgalerie Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum for Contemporary Art, Berlin. Less well-known is the fact that Edigio Marzona was early to have also taken an interest in architecture and design. For about 30 years he has been dedicated to research into Bauhaus on the basis of various publications. The Architekturzentrum Wien now takes great pleasure in being the first institution to be able to introduce the public to the architecture collection of Egidio Marzona. The exhibition is to include approx. 500 publications by, for example, Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolf Behne or Gordon Matta-Clark – i.e. not just publications by architects or theorists, but also by artists who have broken open the boundaries of art and questioned their own relationship to architecture. The significance of the published illustrations for the mediation of modern architecture leads to a shift in accentuation from the pieces of work themselves to their interpretation. At the same time one is reminded of the history of 20th century Modernist architecture, as a manifestation of knowledge and theoretical guiding principles.
