RESEARCH NOTES:

About Vetreria Artistica Vivarini:

Vivarini's glassworks was established in 1967. The aim of the company's founding associates was to market Murano-made glass art and to give complete freedom to master glassmakers to express themselves fully, thereby transforming their showrooms, now famous around the world, into an international level gallery for glass art.

From the very beginning, the philosophy adopted by the company was, to collaborate with master glassmakers such as A. Barbini, A. Seguso, L. Seguso, L. Rosin, P. Signoretto etc., who made important contributions to the last century and who are still doing so to the history of glassmaking – a history that has lasted for more than a thousand years on the island of Murano – always been present in artistic milieux and the interior design sector.

Internationally renowned painters and sculptors such as Yoko Ono, Ben Vautier, Fernandez Arman, Ugo Nespolo, Luciano del Pezzo have forged their works in Vivarini's ovens. In 2003, the American artist Fred Wilson, who was commissioned to set up the American pavilion at the Venice Biennale, had his glassworks produced by Vivarini.
