KORTE INHOUD
The collection of the Steinberg Foundation.
with 329 illustrations, 240 in color.

The technically perfect, colorful ornaments produced on the Venetian island of Moreno continue, nonetheless, to govern most people's image of glassmaking in the tourist Mecca that is Venice, obscuring a large body of work that is of lasting artistic value. It is the latter that forms the subject of this book.
Two introductory essays trace the development of Italian art glass within the context of European glassmaking as a whole and examine the intimate world of glass manufacturing on Murano, with its unique combination of tradition and innovation. The superb color plates reproduce work by all the major designers and manufacturers. Italian art glass is not synonymous with Murano, however, and a notable feature of the book is the marvelous work produced in Milan by Erwin Burger and the firm Fontana Arte.
