Italian art glass of the twentieth century marks a pinnacle in the medium's history. Legendary Muranese factories like Venini, Seguso, and Barovier & Toso collaborated with prominent artists, architects, designers, and skilled glassworkers to innovate and expand upon the rich traditions of Venetian glass. This period saw groundbreaking experiments in forms, colors, and techniques, leading to a golden era of Italian glass at mid-century and the arrival of talented international artists. The Venetian glasswork of this century stands as a testament to creative spirit and artistic innovation. Presented at the American Craft Museum from fall 2000 to winter 2001, the exhibition showcases a comprehensive overview of twentieth-century Italian glass art in the U.S., featuring a previously unknown private collection of masterworks. The extraordinary design by Massimo Vignelli, paired with stunning photographs by Luca Vignelli, brings each piece to life. This catalogue, highlighting over 200 works, addresses the scarcity of publications on twentieth-century Italian glass art in the U.S. and is poised to play a significant role in the current resurgence of interest in glass as a legitimate art form.
