Tom Marioni

Conceptual artist Tom Marioni attended the Cincinnati Art Academy, and in 1959 moved to San Francisco. His first museum show was in 1970 at the Oakland Museum of California. Also in 1970 Marioni founded the Museum of Conceptual Art (MOCA), which he described at the time as “a large-scale social work of art."

Marioni has done installation/performance works and shown work in exhibitions in London, Paris, Essen, Germany and other museums in Europe and the United States. Mills College Art Museum held a retrospective of his drawings in 1999 and in 2006 the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati presented a survey of his work.
