  • The Influence of Lino Tagliapietra
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTEMPORARY GLASS AT INAUGURAL SILICON VALLEY ART FAIR: THE INFLUENCE OF LINO TAGLIAPIETRA Media Inquiries: Thursday, April 10-Sunday, April 13, 2014 at Silicon Valley Contemporary Art Fair Kristin Carlson McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California | Schantz Galleries Booth #410 Think All Day 505-501-2497 [email protected] SAN JOSE, CA—Schantz Galleries (Stockbridge, Massachusetts) is pleased to present new work by five top contemporary glass artists at the first annual Silicon Valley Contemporary Art Fair, April 10-13, 2014, Booth #410, McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The work of Lino Tagliapietra, Dante Marioni, John Kiley, David Walters, and Giles Bettison demonstrates that the intersection between technology and art precedes the digital age; cutting-edge science and innovative expression have long been synthesized in the discipline of glassmaking. Each of these artists has mastered and pushed the boundaries of traditional techniques, and achieved important advances in this time-honored art form. Italian glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra is acknowledged worldwide as one of the most influential glassmakers of our time; the other four artists in this exhibition have each studied and worked with Tagliapietra, and the broad scope of his influence in the field of glass art is evident in the far-reaching facets of their careers.

Celebrating his 80th birthday this year, Lino Tagliapietra is one of the world’s most accomplished artists working with glass today. Tagliapietra has been an independent glass artist since 1989, exhibiting in museums internationally, receiving countless honors, openly sharing his extensive knowledge of the medium and his skill as one of its finest practitioners, and helping to create a new renaissance in studio glassmaking.
