Murano Glass And The Venice Biennale, 1912-1930


Auteur(s) : Marino Barovier, Carla Sonego (dir.)

From 1912 to 1930, Murano glass gradually made its way into the spaces of the Venice Biennale; it wasn't until 1932 that glass and the applied arts were given their own dedicated space in the Giardini. Among the first exhibitors were Giacomo Cappellin, Paolo Venini and the Vetreria Artistica Barovier.

Dedicated to the presence of Murano glass in the world's most prestigious art exhibition, this book analyses the period from the 10th to the 17th editions of the Biennale through a selection of 135 works from prestigious museums and private collections. Through period photographs, drawings and documentary material, it presents the finest pieces of art glass worthy of being exhibited, thus officially enshrining the artistic value of Murano's avant-garde production.
