His grandfather, born at Villa di Verzegnis, Friuli, in1873, was an engineer who built the Alte Schiffshebewerk near Henrichenburg and the Münsterland loch-gates. His father founded a concrete works in Bielefeld after the Second World War. The son was drawn to the artworld. Egidio Marzona ran his own gallery until 1978 in Bielefeld and close to the Dusseldorf Art Academy. The publishing house he founded, Edition Marzona, focussed on research into modernism and Bauhaus. A series of the books published there have long been considered standard reference works – such as the Panamarenko-Publikation, edited by Marzona himself, or his volume of Bauhaus photographs. Villa di Verzegnis Egidio Marzona, who knew many of "his" artists personally, was drawn back to Italy at the start of the 1980s. He bought back his own former-family estate in Verzegnis near Udine in Friuli, and tranformed the birthplace of his father and grandfather step by step into a kind of open museum. Egidio Marzona invited artists to work there. Bruce Nauman was the first to do so, with a blunt pyramid that opens the view to the starry sky. Lawrence Weiner, Mario Merz, Sol LeWitt, Dan Graham and Richard Long are others who have left their traces in Marzona's unique art paradise. |
