Curated by Peggy Guggenheim Collection for Davide Groppi.

Twenty-three glass sculptures after sketches by Picasso (1964, Egidio Costantini).
The transparency of glass makes it welcoming to light, ready to receive it, be shaped by it. Venetian art seems itself reflected in glass: painting of light, art, vibration of water and sky.
Egidio Costantini, the “master of master glassmakers”, challenged himself with the modernity of great Twentieth century art, bringing the designs of Picasso, Chagall, Arp and many others to glass, in an initiative that Cocteau called “La fucina degli Angeli (The Forge of Angels)”.
Twenty-three glass sculptures after sketches by Picasso is a series of sculptures that were inspired by drawings by Pablo Picasso, which were delivered to Costantini personally by the Spanish artist.
