1 Lino Tagliapietra L Essenza

2 Oca /4 x 8 3/4 x 6 1/2

3 L Essenza Lino Tagliapietra is truly an explorer in touch with the essence of his art. Throughout the past four decades, Lino has continued to evolve as an artist by challenging himself and pushing past the limits of the glass medium through his imagination and ingenuity. Through his art, he has been a major influence and inspiration to the Contemporary Glass Movement in the United States. In many ways Lino s evolution symbolizes the identity and essence of that movement in America. Schantz Galleries is honored to present this catalog of selected works that span a 12 year period, ranging from Tagliapietra s newest works, to his glass sculpture and panels that were featured in his major retrospective exhibition*. In 2011 Lino will be honored with a major one person exhibition at the Palazzo Cavilli Franchetti on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. His talent and unlimited vision continue to inspire us all. * Lino s retrospective exhibition was curated and presented at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA in The exhibition traveled for the next two years to: the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC; The Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA; The Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs, CA; and the Flint Museum of Arts, Flint MI.

4 Bisanzio, x 29 x 1...I think of these pieces as paintings. The original idea was a painting, or something like a native American blanket, but, many things are possible.

5 George /4 x 30 What intrigues me more than the energy is the division of space... where it is possible to be shocked. I translate energy into a kind of space, a color.
