This is a striking piece of Murano art glass, created by master glass artist, that would be gorgeous modernist statement piece to add to your art glass collection.

Livio Seguso was born in 1930 in Murano, Italy where he still lives and works and is considered a master of contemporary glass. Seguso began his life-long love affair with glass at a very early age and was a pupil of Alfredo Barbini, who was his uncle. Seguso was fascinated by the inexhaustible appeal of this wonderful medium. He stayed as an assistant to Barbini until 1959 and then, in 1960, he was appointed maestro at Salviati & Co and became the ideal interpreter of the master, Luciano Gaspari. In 1969, he opened his own glass factory where he was both entrepreneur and sculptor. Seguso's mastery of his medium was such that it allowed him to express himself completely without being hampered by the limits of craftsmanship. Livio Seguso reached his full artistic expédition maturity in the late 70's, when he totally abandoned the traditional Murano glassmaking techniques, and began to focus on clear crystal, which is changeable and ambiguous in its transparency and was the perfect medium for the artist's imaginative vision. The 2019-2021 Livio Seguso exhibition at the Glass Museum in Venice dedicates a magical journey around Seguso's many works, which are the result of a lifetime's research and passion. And while his works continue to be shown and amaze his many fans, Livio Seguso, at the age of ninety, continues his work and research in his beloved Murano.
