UPCOMING EVENTS

Lino Tagliapietra da Murano allo Studio Glass | opere 1954-2011 Schantz Galleries is pleased to announce a significant exhibition of works by renowned contemporary glass artist, Lino Tagliapietra, in his native Italy. Maestro Tagliapietra is honored to have the opportunity to exhibit in a prestigious and historical space provided by The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti at the Gothic Palazzo Cavilli Franchetti on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. This is a rare opportunity to see a large-scale exhibition of the work of a Venetian maestro in the setting where the grand history of Venetian glass began. The exhibition spans more than fifty years of Tagliapietra’s career and presents early works of the 50s, 60s and 70s that testify to Lino’s influence as a contemporary Venetian maestro. However, the showcase of the exhibition will be the artist’s recent masterpieces.

The exhibition opens on February 19, 2011 and will run for approximately three months. It is curated by Rosa Barovier, an esteemed art historian who has authored many books on Venetian glass. An exhibition catalog Lino Tagliapietra, da

MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, Boston, MAGund Gallery, LG31

Enter a world of wonder and light. In

the course of his long career, Dale

Chihuly has revolutionized the art

of blown glass, moving it into the realm of

large-scale sculpture and establishing the use

of glass—inherently a fragile but also magi-

cal material—as a vehicle for installation and

environmental art. This exhibition of new

and archival works represents the breadth and

scope of the artist’s creative vision over the last

four decades.

The exhibition will include installations such

as Lime Green Icicle Tower, to be installed

in the Shapiro Courtyard; a Persian Wall; a

Chandelier room with six examples, including

the Chiostro di Sant’Apollonia Chandelier; and

a room containing a magnificent Mille Fiori

installation that is more than sixty feet long.

Very special and heartfelt thanks

to over 50 artists creating the

stellar work that we are honored

to present at the gallery, online

and at the shows we travel to.

Finally, without you, the

audience and the collectors who

the artists would not exist be able

to continue to grow creatively.

We thank YOU!
