Murano Illumina il Mondo
Promoted by The Venice Glass Week and Comune di Venezia, Murano Illumina il Mondo (Murano Lights Up The World) is a project which – for the very first time – brings an exhibition project to St Mark’s Square, shining a spotlight on the significance and future of Murano glass.
Every evening from 24th November 2023 to 29th February 2024, Venice’s residents and visitors alike can admire the illumination of twelve chandeliers which are the result of the collaboration between twelve internationally celebrated artists and nine of Murano’s most prestigious glass furnaces. These original masterpieces, specifically created for the exhibition project, transform St Mark’s Square – one of the most beautiful and famous locations in the world – into the setting for a truly unique public art intervention.
Bohemian Glass:
The Great Masters
The exhibition Bohemian Glass: The Great Masters curated by Caterina Tognon and Sylva Petrová and organized in collaboration with the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, is dedicated to Bohemian glass after the Second World War, featuring the works by six major artists of contemporary glass sculpture: Václav Cigler, Vladimír Kopecký, Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, René Roubíček, Miluše Roubíčková.
Bohemia — the historical name for the largest of the lands that make up the present-day Czech Republic — was home to glassmaking innovators from the twelfth century onwards, who helped shape and augment the impact of European glass. Glassmakers based in this region were permanently pushed to invent new forms of glass production by competitive pressures from other European glassmaking centres, primarily in Germany and also in Italy, whose superb outputs dominated the global market in decorative glass.
Toots Zynsky. Colour, the Common Thread
Caterina Tognon would like to inform friends and collectors
about the interesting article by Sarah Nichols entitled
Toots Zynsky. Colour, the Common Thread
for The Decorative Arts Society - The Journal, issue no. 47, 2023 -.
A leading specialist in the applied arts and a longtime curator at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Nichols takes an extremely insightful look at the work of Zynsky, among the greatest artists of the studio glass movement, whose work is known for the distinctive and pioneering technique of 'filet de verre,' the result of which is an energetic and colorful explosion of color.
In Toots Zynsky. Colour, the Common Thread Nichols describes Zynsky's long artistic career through its highlights and decisive contacts with the Venetian glass tradition, the influence of the time she spent in Ghana and her particular conception of color molded into material.
