Murano - Museo del Vetro
The Barry Friedman Collection and Venetian Heritage
Party
The Barry Friedman Collection, curated
by Chiara Squarcina with the
scientific direction of Gabriella Belli,
is on show until August 19 at the Museo
del Vetro in Murano. Coming from the passion of a great art enthusiast,
namely the renowned New York
collector Barry Friedman, this
extraordinary collection of twentieth-century
Murano glass works was donated
in 2017 to Venetian Heritage, to
become a permanent part of the Murano
Glass Museum, the perfect location for its maximum appreciation.

The Barry Friedman Collection and Venetian Heritage
The
177 works that comprise the collection include glass designed by Bianconi, Buzzi, Nason, Poli, Scarpa and
Zecchin, made in the most important
and historic Murano’s factories,
among them Seguso, Barovier and Toso,
Cenedese, Salviati and Venini.
This donation greatly expands the Murano
Museum’s twentieth-century collection, which in addition to presenting its
historical collections, aims to present and appraise current directions taken
by local glassworks. In this sense, the twentieth century appears to be the
fundamental key to understanding contemporary times. The superb quality of the
artefacts that constitute the extraordinary Friedman collection provides the opportunity to present to the
public particular themes of great interest.
