The most comprehensive monograph available on the greatest living
glassblower, Lino Tagliapietra.
Lino Tagliapietra has been described as the world's greatest
glassblower, a figure born from the five-hundred-year-old culture of
Venetian glass, but one who also revolutionized glass as a discipline,
inventing new techniques to create his masterful works. Even more
astonishing, as Tagliapietra hit his full stride, he has become a
notable figure in the unfolding story of modern sculpture - an artist
whose distinctive works are coveted by collectors of contemporary
abstract art and whose vision makes us think about art history in new
and profound ways.
This is the most comprehensive monograph available on his work and
features insightful texts by Glenn Adamson and Henry Adams, as well as
hundreds of new photographs, which showcase the impressive breadth and
depth of Taglipietra's repertoire.
