Mario Diacono remembered in artribune

https://www.artribune.com/professioni-e-professionisti/who-is-who/2025/10/mario-diacono-morto-poeta-gallerista-sperimentatore/

Classe 1930, Diacono è stato gallerista e poeta, ma anche critico d’arte e letterario, docente, scrittore, traduttore, fondatore di riviste e artista lui stesso, sempre capace di interagire con i linguaggi e le visioni più sperimentali

10/30/2025

We are deeply saddened to report the loss of our dear friend Mario Diacono. Mario has been an important part of our lives personally (Elmar first met him in New York in 1974) and professionally as Ars Libri hosted the Mario Diacono Gallery from 2002-2008 at our Harrison Avenue store. We will miss seeing Mario for lunch in Charlestown. We will also miss his inventive wit and wordplay, his ability to remember life events and travels in incredible detail, his knowledge of and opinions on both the art world and the state of world affairs.

There is still time to see Barry X. Ball's fantastic "Buddha" at the Mario Diacono Gallery- on view until July 5th

Barry X. Ball’s “Buddha” took years to make with the help of a studio team and a robot. It’s timeless.

A noted art collector as well as a designer, he brought a personal, history-minded approach to his work around Boston and on college campuses.
