Têtes à têtes: Human Figures

30.04.2003 → 31.03.2004

This them­atic exhib­i­tion deals with figur­a­tion in art glass and pays homage to the origins of the collec­tion with a broad selec­tion of blown glass pieces from the Vene­tian studio La Fucina degli Angeli and glass-paste items produced by Daum.

Around sixty pieces attest to the interest taken by glass artists in the human figure. The creat­ors decline heads, bodies and frag­ments and play with styles, some­times going as far as the most allus­ive abstrac­tion. Paral­lel to this, a besti­ary is presen­ted in the room at the top of the mudac’s tower.
