On Thursday evening, Heller Gallery will welcome maestro Lino Tagliapietra, who plans to attend the evening reception to kick off a month-long New York City exhibition of his work entitled "Celebrazione!" From June 2 through July 15, this gallery in the heart of the art scene in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood will feature a range of richly patterned sculptural vessels that showcase Tagliapietra's complex use of cane and murini to create bold abstract compositions on glass surfaces.
"Arguably the greatest ambassador of Italian glassmaking in the service of art, Tagliapietra has been a most sought-after teacher, collaborator and consultant to artists, architects and designers working with glass worldwide," reads the exhibition announcement. "After a lifetime of work, and 70 years in the hotshop, the material remains magical to him."
