Exhibition description:
Peggy Guggenheim was always interested in the “dream-like quality” of glass and its myriad of artistic applications. She inspired and organized collaborations between Murano glass masters and artists such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Max Ernst. These collaborations began in the 1950s, in response to an initiative of the Fucina degli Angeli studio. Luigi Ontani exhibited three new glass sculptures in Peggy’s former bedroom at the Palazzo Venier del Leoni, the result of his collaboration with Murano masters Silvano Signoretto and Romano Donà. The display of these three sculptures, never exhibited before, represented to him the idea of “playing with Peggy’s legend, an attempt to reawaken a dream in a room designed for dreaming, and to continue feeding this attempt through fantastical and playful visions.”
