Transparencies, chromatic reflections, luminous reflections, soft lines, but also experimentation, the use of not only artistic but also functional design interpretations of a precious material, and an Italian excellence like Murano glass. The catalog, with high-quality photographs, traces the works of contemporary artists and factories on the island of Murano, which—combining ingenuity, technique, taste, aesthetics, and efficiency—have found an appropriate setting and dialogue in the halls and garden of the Murano Glass Museum. Published on the occasion of the exhibition curated by Gabriella Belli and Chiara Squarcina, "Murano Oggi. Emozioni di vetro" (October 7, 2016–April 25, 2017). Texts by the curators and Jean Blanchaert. English translation on the facing page.
