ongoing Artsupp card 1912-1930

The show

The next exhibition organized at LE STANZE DEL VETRO will be 1912-1930 Murano glass and the Venice Biennale , curated by Marino Barovier , and will open to the public on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore from 14 April to 24 November 2024 . The exhibition will be dedicated to the presence of Murano glass at the prestigious Venetian event, examining the chronological period between 1912 and 1930 (i.e. from the X to the XVII edition of the Biennale), through a careful selection of 135 works , many of which great rarity from important museum institutions and private collections.

This is a period in which Murano glass progressively found space within the exhibition, first through the artists who chose to use this extraordinary material for their works, then thanks to the opening of the Biennale to decorative arts, which until to 1930 they were welcomed into the various rooms of the Palazzo dell'Esposizione together with the so-called major arts. Only since 1932, with the construction of a new pavilion, glass and the decorative arts in general have found a dedicated home within the Gardens.


In the 1910s, the Biennale mainly presented glass created by artists , such as Hans Stoltenberg Lerche , a Norwegian sculptor and ceramist, who introduced innovative glass from 1912 to 1920 with the hot application of filaments and polychrome powders; the Murano decorator Vittorio Toso Borella (1912-1914) with his enamels; the painters Vittorio Zecchin and Teodoro Wolf Ferrari who presented murrine works in 1914; and the wrought iron artist Umberto Bellotto (1914-1924) with his interesting combinations of iron and glass, often enriched with murrine inserts. To create their works, these artists also collaborated with glassworks such as Fratelli Toso or Artisti Barovier .

The glass presented at the Biennale in this period, therefore, represented an extraordinary attempt to propose a new language , with an eye towards research from beyond the Alps.
