About the Item

Murano glass handblown in Venice by Afro Celotto. Afro Celotto is an Italian glass artist known for his intricate and colorful glass sculptures. He was born in Murano, Italy in 1963, and he comes from a family of glassmakers who have been working in the field for generations. Celotto's work is characterized by its use of bold, bright colors and intricate patterns, which he achieves through a combination of traditional glassmaking techniques and his own innovative approaches. He often uses a technique known as murrine, in which colored glass rods are fused together to create complex patterns and designs. Celotto's pieces have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, and the Galleria Rossella Junck in Venice, Italy. He has also collaborated with a number of prominent designers and brands, including Fendi and Venini. In addition to his glass sculptures, Celotto has also designed a range of home accessories and furniture pieces that incorporate his signature use of glass and color. His designs have been featured in a number of design publications and have won numerous awards for their innovative approach to traditional glassmaking techniques.

Signed on Base. *This is "one of the finest and most unique from this series" - Toots Zynsky When I hear music, it translates into color. —Toots Zynsky Toots Zynsky’s distinctive heat-formed filet de verre (glass thread) vessels enjoy a widespread popularity and deserved acclaim for their often extraordinary and always unique explorations in color. Defying categorization, her pieces inhabit a region all their own, interweaving the traditions of painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts. Mary Ann Toots Zynsky was born in 1951 and raised in Massachusetts. Known professionally and to her friends as Toots Zynsky, she received her bachelor of fine arts in 1973 at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence. There, she was one of a group of pioneering artists studying with Dale Chihuly, who made studio glass a worldwide phenomenon. “Glassmaking was wide open,” Zynsky remembers. “Hot glass slipped through the air, pulled and stretched. There was music and the furnaces were roaring. . . and everyone was working in concert. . . It was this material that hadn’t been widely explored as an artist’s medium. Everything was possible, and there was so much to be discovered. There were no rules. You could do anything you wanted.” In Chihuly’s words, her class was a group with extraordinary energy, amounting to “the most creative, highly charged institutional experience I’d ever been a part of.” Among Zynsky’s classmates at RISD were other artists who went on to build successful careers, such as James Carpenter, Bruce Chao, Dan Dailey, and Therman Statom...

Kosso Eloul (1920-1995) is one of our favorite sculptors and an important contributor to public art in Toronto. In addition to the numerous public sculptures in Toronto by Eloul, his works can be found in many other prominent open spaces around the world, from California to Israel. Most familiar with Eloul associate his work with his signature forms; large brushed aluminum (or steel) angled rectangles. However his earlier work was realized in stone. This fine sculpture, a form that is revisited and eventually created in metal, is made of Jerusalem Stone...
