Title: New Growth
Medium: Etching
Dimensions: 22 X 24 in
Tom Marioni is a Bay Area conceptual artist who is known for his performance and social artworks. He works in all media including sculpture, printmaking, photography and installation. The "New Growth" etching was created in the Crown Point Press studio in 2006.
Tom was born in 1937 in Cincinnati, Ohio, attended the Cincinnati Art Academy, and in 1959 moved to San Francisco, where he still lives. His first sound work, One Second Sculpture, 1969, was celebrated in the 2005 Lyon Biennial as presaging the work of many artists today who use sound and duration as subjects. His first museum show was in 1970 at the Oakland Museum of California. Titled "The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the Highest Form of Art," it was an early example of social art as a sculpture action. Over the years, Marioni was invited to repeat the work in various contexts around the world.
