Veronese 90° vase (limited edition)

May 18, 2011 Veronese 90° vase (limited edition) manufacturer: Venini, Italy designer: Vittorio Zecchin design year: 1921 notes: To commemorate the 90th anniversary of their company, during their presentation at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, 2011, Venini issued a limited series of the iconic Veronese vase, which has been produced by the legendary Murano glass house since its founding in 1921. The Veronese vase was inspired by a vase appearing in the painting The Annunciation (ca. 1551-1553) by Italian artist Paolo Veronese. The Venini name first came to note in Murano when Paolo Venini, a Milanese lawyer with a distant family tradition of glass working and Giancomo Cappellin, Venitian antiques dealer, founded Cappellin Venini & Co. The foundation of stylistic identity which can still be found in Venini's range of glassware today was established under the artistic guidance of the painter Vittorio Zecchin. The crucial idea was that of breaking away from the traditional formats in order to embrace the artistic avant-garde, while still acquiring a mastery of the glass working techniques through collaboration with the island's greatest glass masters. The 1922 edition of the Venice Biennial and the First International exposition of the Decorative Arts at Monza in 1923 were the first two exhibitions to feature the fruit of the work undertaken by the founders of the Venini firm. Over the next 75 years Venini would attract some of the world's most noted artists, including Carlo Scarpa, Tapio Wirkkala, Lancia, Pulitzer, Gio Ponti, Fulvio Bianconi, Eugene Berman, Lyn Tissot, Ricdardo Licata, Tobia Scarpa, Vico Magistretti, Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Mario Bellini, Marco Zanini, Fernando and Humberto Campana, and Studio Job. Today Venini is one of the most famous glass makers in the world and has produced some of the most iconic and coveted pieces ever produced in glass. materials: mouth-blown Murano glass warning: Available only by special order; only 1 of each color available to order. Delivery will take place in October-December of 2011 price: $2,470

Ultramodern Samuel Marx: Architect, Designer, Art Collector written by Liz O'Brien

Apr 22, 2011 Ultramodern Samuel Marx: Architect, Designer, Art Collector written by Liz O'Brien manufacturer: Pointed Leaf Press, USA design year: 2007 notes: This is the first monograph on the lesser-known but increasingly influential American designer Samuel Abraham Marx. Although Marx was born at the end of the nineteenth century, he had the eye of a modernist, as an architect, furniture designer, connoisseur, and collector. In more than 200 photographs, Marx expert and decorative arts dealer, Liz OBrien, reveals many of his undiscovered projects, including houses that have been razed despite preservationist protests, as well as his range of furniture designs. Throughout his career, Marx was sought after for his ability to integrate art in well-heeled interiors. The private art collections of many of his wealthy clients have, in the last 40 years, been dispersed to major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago dimensions: 216 pages over 200 illustrations price: $95
