B.1936, American

John Giorno was born in New York City in 1936 and died there on October 11th, 2019. After studying at Columbia University, he moved to the Bowery, joining that neighborhoods’ vibrant artistic community.

In the 1980s, Giorno began to add a pictorial dimension to his work, creating Poem Paintings composed of words and phrases from his poems in the form of paintings, murals, drawings and screen prints. ...
