The new autumnal exhibition of the Stanze del Vetro, a cultural project on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, between Fondazione Giorgio Cini and Pentagram Stiftung, promotes the art of glass making of the twentieth century.
The magical place of Fondazione Cini with its Palladian cloister, library, refectory and labyrinth Borges, offers an ideal setting for this unforgettable visit.
This exhibition showcases the great collaboration of the famous Italian glass maker Venini with the American artist from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Thomas Stearns (1936-1960). Arriving in 1960 on the island of Murano, thanks to a scholarship allo- cated by the Italian government, he learns with talent and speed the work of glass. He creates works of astonishing modernity with the techniques of the time.
