§ Sandra Blow R.A. (British 1925-2006) Upward Movement numbered 2/20 (lower left), with artist's estate stamp, etching with aquatintDimensions:37.5cm x 37.5cm (14 3/4in x 14 3/4in)Note: A trailblazer of 1950s abstraction, British painter Sandra Blow provided an undisputed contribution to the development of post-modernist painting in post-war Britain. Her characteristically large scale, colourful collages were mostly produced using discarded non-art materials. Drawing attention due to this unusual usage of abstract mediums, notably sawdust, sackcloth and plaster, Blow’s unique manner grew her popularity swiftly within the art world. While travelling Europe her experimentation was encouraged by artists such as partner Alberto Burri, from who Blow adopted this idea of incorporating atypical materials, experimenting with the raw sensuality of such forms.Blow’s most influential paintings were produced during the latter half of the 20th century, where her practice took clear inspiration from time spent between Italy and Cornwall. Working in a process led and intuitive way, she became known as a pioneer of the use of dynamic perspective, a technique which grew in concurrent popularity with abstract expressionism. Coupling dynamic and geometric forms, her awareness of perspective gave the works a tactile, energetic feel. Using multi-dimensional materials in partnership with paint her artistic concerns stretched to the consideration of proportion and tension.
Carlo Scarpa (Italian 1906-1978) for Venini Vase, 1940 signed with 2 line acid stamp Venini Murano (to base), glass, from the Laccato Nero e Rosso seriesDimensions:16cm high (6 1/4in high)Provenance:ProvenancePrivate Collection, UK.Note: LiteratureBarovier, Marino and Carla Sonego. Carla Scarpa Venini 1932-1947. SKIRA. p 284. To obtain the bright red colour Scarpa used miniscule lamp-worked glass spheres in the glass mass and due to the complexity of this technique relatively few pieces were produced in this series.
§ Fulvio Bianconi (Italian 1915-1996) for Venini Double Incalmo Vase, 1951 model 4392, signed with 3 line acid stamp Venini, Murano, ITALIA (to base), glassDimensions:24cm high (9 1/2in high)Provenance:ProvenancePrivate Collection, UK.Note: LiteratureBarovier, Marino and Carla Sonego. Fulvio Bianconi at Venini. SKIRA. p 228. Bianconi experimented with the incalmo technique (joining of two separately blown pieces of glass whilst still hot). In the case of the double incalmo he sought to extend the technique to three different coloured glass hemispheres where the rims of all had to have the same circumference - an operation which required the highest level of glass-making skills. One of Italy’s most famous post-war designers, Fulvio Bianconi (1915-1996) was an integral motivator in pushing the use of glass further than its purely utilitarian purposes. Best known for his colourful vases, pitchers and bowls Bianconi looked to evoke the visual effect of abstract art. A sculptor of Murano glass, he was one of the first artists to represent the material in a human form, intending to add a sensuality to the object which echoed that of modern conceptual painting. Bianconi took inspiration primarily from the female silhouette, an influence for one of his most famous works the 1950 ‘bikini vase’. In moulding these abstract forms great attention was paid to the curvature and shape of the glass, materialising in striking yet simple pieces.When considering colour, Bianconi’s pieces adopted a multi-colour patchwork effect comparable to that of the stained glass found in gothic cathedrals. To create this effect the glass was first blown before being rolled over panels of coloured glass which would stick to the hot body, thus producing dynamic layers of mixed shades. Previously described as a making ‘patchwork of light’, the exceptional complexity of this process ensured the rarity of such items, increasing the individuality of Bianconi’s works. The pairing of vivid colour with dynamic irregular shapes gave the works a light-hearted atmosphere and enticing aesthetic, unrestricted by the traditional artisan principles of glass design.
§ Fulvio Bianconi (Italian 1915-1996) for Venini 'Arlechino' Pezzato vase, 1950 model 4319, signed with 3 line acid stamp Venini, Murano, ITALIA (to base), glassDimensions:36cm high (14 1/4in high)Provenance:ProvenancePrivate Collection, UK.Note: LiteratureBarovier, Marino and Carla Sonego. Fulvio Bianconi at Venini. SKIRA. p 181;‘Fulvio Bianconi at Venini’ Catalogue of the exhibition at Le Stanze del Vetro (The Glass rooms) in Venice in 2015 by Marino Barovier and Carla Sonego, page 181.‘Venetian Glass’ the Nancy Olnick and George Spanau collection. Exhibition catalogue Autumn 2000 American Craft Museum, page 116 and 219,‘Italian Glass, Murano – Milan 1930-1970’, The Steinberg Foundation Collection catalogue by Ricke and Schmitt 1997, plate 83 page 109. The Pezzato vase was one of the most successful designs that Fulvio Bianconi created for Venini. Bianconi used a glass mosaic in various ways producing brilliant chromatic effects. These vases were first exhibited at the 25th Venice Biennale in 1950. The glass tesserae are first made from coloured glass canes flattened and cut to various sizes before being arranged into a mosaic. The mosaic is then heated on a fire stone to weld the different colours together. They are then picked up on a blank to form the walls of the final piece. The glass is then blown and hot worked into the desired form. Most of the designs were in transparent glass but there are also some made from a combination of opaque pasta vitrea and transparent tesserae which became known as ‘Arlecchino’ designs and had the greatest chromatic brilliance.
