author ezio gribaudo (turin, january 10, 1929 – turin, july 18, 2022) was an italian artist, art publisher, and graphic designer, a multifaceted figure of the late 20th century. Trained at the brera academy in milan (1949-1952) and the turin polytechnic (architecture), he began his career as a graphic designer and typographer (collaborating with nebiolo in the 1950s), before establishing himself as an experimental artist. He was famous for his logogrifi (from 1966), white-on-white reliefs (or with chromatic inserts) obtained using mixed techniques of printing, collage, and bas-relief, which played on textures, deformed alphabetical signs, and plastic material. His work, often monochromatic or limited in color, blends abstraction, informal art, conceptual art, and visual poetry, with influences from fontana, burri, and the typographic avant-garde. Winner of the graphic arts award at the 1966 venice biennale, he exhibited in major international exhibitions (venice biennale, rome quadriennale, galleries in europe and the us). As a publisher (edizioni d'arte fratelli pozzo, then his own), he collaborated with artists such as chagall, de chirico, fontana, peggy guggenheim, and many others, producing artist's books and cult catalogs. His works are present in museums (including the peggy guggenheim collection) and private collections; his home-studio in turin, a 'living archive' of art and books, has often been described as an iconic space. Gribaudo's creations are listed on the italian and european contemporary art market.
