John Giorno (born 1936 in New York, NY, US; died 2019 in New York, NY, US) is remembered for his remarkable spirit and craft, which expanded, transcended, and challenged the borders of different art forms.

In his Poem Paintings, Giorno transformed phrases originally found in his poems into bold, visual works. Explosive lines like "SPACE FORGETS YOU" and "YOU GOT TO BURN TO SHINE" provoke both identification and further contemplation.
