MARINO BAROVIER, CARLA SONEGO - Venetian Art Glass

Title: Venetian Art Glass
Description: Arnoldsche, 2004. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 352. A historical survey of Murano glass, thanks to one of the largest and most important American private collections. Donna and Neil Weisman's love of Italy and its culture brought them to the lagoon city, where their encounter with the extraordinary material that is glass has not failed to make an impact. Rare glass objects from the latter half of the 19th century illustrate the beginning of the effort to revive art glass production in Murano. Magnificent examples of very rare murrine represent the early 20th century, some of them by Artisti Barovier. The lively 1930s and 1940s are notable for the glass produced by the Barovier factory, followed by the colourful and glowing 1950s and 1960s objects of Dino Martens, Fulvio Bianconi, Archimede Seguso and others. Attractive glass objects from the collaboration between Fucina degli Angeli and artists of international standing, round off this documentary.Superlative photographs, contemporary documents and archive material, several information on glass artists and producers and a comprehensive glossary provide collectors and aficionados of this art with wealth of information.
