Krayer, Antun Motika e Bergamini, Guttuso, Braque, Verde,
Hundertwasser, Fontana, Pignon, Bellini, Minguzzi, Goldoni, Carraro,

an extreme interest on the abstract and informal side of art, and he
became famous mostly for his “a massello” production, created by shaping
glass as an incandescent mass.

A hundred works are exposed at the Glass Museum in Murano. They go from
the reproduction of the famous Cellini salt-cellar to a pop version of
the head of the Statue of Liberty, from the splendid faces of the
crystal women to the Tiepolo-style Pulcinella. Exhibition and Skira
catalogue curated by Aldo Bova, with texts by Aldo Bova, Silvio Fuso,
Chiara Squarcina, Giampaolo Seguso and several interviews by Francesca
Cadel. Exhibition project and setting by Eraldo Mauro.
