Résumé : Venetian Glass by Carlo Scarpa: The Venini Company, 1932-1947 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is devoted to the work in glass of the influential Italian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978). Scarpa created a unique and multifaceted body of work in architecture and design. In 1932, while in his mid-twenties, he was hired by Paolo Venini, founder of Venini Glassworks, to be an artistic consultant to the company. Until 1947, he worked closely with Venini master glass blowers and Mr. Venini himself to create more than two dozen styles, in the process pioneering techniques, silhouettes, and colors that thoroughly modernized the ancient tradition of glass blowing. The exhibition presents the results of this unique collaboration, featuring nearly 300 carefully selected works that highlight Scarpa’s significant contribution to the art of Venetian glass.

Résumé : A massive survey of the famed glass firm's unparalleled lighting designs.The Italian glass firm Venini, founded in 1921, is famed for its virtuoso uses of Murano glass. Created with a soda-lime "metal" sourced from the beaches of Venice, Murano is unparalleled in quality. Venini elevates this material to exquisite heights, shaping it into beautiful art objects emblazoned with engravings, enamel paint details and intricate folds.This volume is the latest edition from Skira's glass series Le Stanze del Vetro and focuses on the firm's output of lighting design--an area in which Venini has particularly distinguished itself--as produced between 1921 and 1985.Presenting a selection of over 500 cards and 400 illustrations (most previously unseen) encompassing both catalog and preparatory drawings, the volume documents Venini's activity throughout the 20th century, highlighting projects of historical importance, including collaborations with Angiolo Mazzoni in the 1930s, the Palazzo Grassi in Venice (1951) and the Fulda theater in Germany (1978).

Résumé : [...] At the Venini glassworks he [Toni Zuccheri] concentrates enthusiastically on research and experimentation with the glass material and with time acquired a remarkable understanding both of hot and cold processing techniques. The first results were to be seen at the 1964 Venice Biennale, where next to the Crepuscoli and Giade series some of the bestiary animals were first exhibited: ducks in polychrome glass and unusual farmyard animals in glass and bronze (turkey and guinea-fowls) published in the pages of Domus, together with the famous hoopoe with innumerable feathers executed under heat. Belonging tp this same period art the vetrate grosse, 'designed by GIo Ponti in the glass art of Toni Zuccheri produced in the Venini furnace', which are evidence of the contemporary experimentations on glass with the use of multi-material inclusions. Among the results of Zuccheri's research there was also stracciato glass, a semi-transparent vitreous material with a characteristic striated appearance which, apart from being used in new vases and bowls inspired by the plant world (Tronchi, Ninfee), was used also in lighting. From the late 1970s the glass bestiary was enriched with new models, confirming again Zuccheri's interest in this subject, interpreted in a way that could never be taken for granted. This volume, arising out of in-depth research based on partially unpublished material from the Venini historical archives and from the personal archives of the artist, illustrates the achievements of the association with a sequence of about two hundred models, accompanied by drawings and period photographs.
