Biography egidio marzona
Egidio Marzona
Egidio Marzona was born in Bielefeld in 1944, into a German-Italian family of industrialist. His approach to collecting was strongly influenced by the prevalent notion of art of the 1960s, particularly by conceptual art. He was interested not only in the artwork itself, but also in the artistic process and the artist’s environment, including materials that were generated along the way. He acquired his first pieces in 1968, favoring Arte Povera and artists such as Robert Ryman, Marcel Duchamp, and Joseph Beuys, and the desire to understand bigger contexts and gain further insights grew. Young gallerists such as Konrad Fischer, Rolf Ricke, and Heiner Friedrich became valuable interlocuters for Marzona, connecting him with contemporary artists of the time. Another important influence on the collector was the architect and art collector Heinz Rasch who worked at the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart and would become Marzona’s mentor.
