The jury of the Bonhams Prize for The Venice Glass Week awarded a Special Recogniton to the exhibition La finestra mi disse - The window says to me - by Tristano di Robilant and curated by Elisa Schaar at Palazzo Contarini Polignac which was deemed particularly interesting and emblematic of the spirit of The Venice Glass Week festival.

The exhibition of Tristano di Robilant was curated by Elisa Schaar for The Venice Glass Week 2020 in Palazzo Polignac it consisted of a group of seven glass sculptures created in Murano with the collaboration of the maestro glass blower Andrea Zilio. The title of the exhibition, a line taken from Marcel Proust, refers to a window in Venice that elicits in him strong emotional memories both of the city and of his beloved mother. The transparent glass sculptures - as window prisms - obliquely pay homage to the rich literary and musical history of Palazzo Polignac, and, on a more personal level, evoke memories of a summer spent there as a young boy in 1976.

Edmond a’ Venise

Judi Harvest

Art and Honeybees in Time of Quarantine

In the concept store Edmond a’ Venise on show one of a kind glassworks by American artist by Judi Harvest inspired by her Honey Garden and Honeybees on Murano these were presented alongside her 76 watercolors on pink handmade paper from Venice titled Art in the Time of Quarantine. This exhibition, while relating the viewer to these marvelous, spiritual creatures, also brings awareness to the endangered honeybees and Murano glass masters - two colonies of fragile, fundamental beauty. It is as much about our wild and precious lives as it is about the Honeybees. Like a honeycomb, everything is connected.
