Marcel Guguianu (June 28, 1922 – June 11, 2012) was a Romanian sculptor.[1]
Biography
Born in Bârlad, Guguianu attended primary school and began high school there, finishing at Galaţi. From 1941 to 1945, he attended courses at the Fine Arts School in Bucharest, taught by Cornel Medrea. He then taught drawing and calligraphy at high schools in his native city. From 1954 to 1956 he was based in Iaşi, restoring historic monuments there and in Bârlad.[2]
He began entering his sculptures at annual and biennial exhibitions in 1948. In 1956, he joined the Artists' Union of Romania and moved to Bucharest. Among the exhibitions where his work has featured are those at Budapest, Odense, Rome, San Marino, Naples, Aranđelovac, Belgrade, Montpellier, Paris, São Paulo, New York City, Ankara, Bamako, Washington, Seville and Miami. His awards include an honorary prize at the 1972 Venice Biennale; three other prizes at Naples during the 1970s; and a gold medal from San Marino (1981). In 2002, upon marking his 80th birthday and over 60 years of activity, President Ion Iliescu made him a knight of the Order of the Star of Romania.[2]
His work is exhibited at the Countess Madeleine Galleries in New York City, and the Marcel Guguianu Foundation was established in 1992.[2]
In 2003, the Museum Pavilion Marcel Guguianu.[3] with his sculptures, sketches, drawings, and fotos was opened in Bârlad as part of the Museum Vasile Pârvan.[4]
