Tis volume examines the historical period in which Murano glass progressively found a place within the Venice Biennale (1912-1930), first through the artists who chose to use this material for their works, then through the glassworks that, in some cases, drew on the creativity of painters and sculptors. Te result of in-depth bibliographical and documentary research carried out in the Biennale’s Historical Archives as well as in public and private archives, with period photographs, drawings and documents – often previously unpublished – the catalogue illustrates the extraordinary repertoire of artworks exhibited in the various editions, focusing in particular on the over 130 works by artists and glassmakers who were protagonists in the passage of an art traditionally considered among the minor ones to the Olympus of the major arts.
