Description
GIULIANO TOSI (Murano, 1942) ; Murano, Italy, c.1970. "Center." Glass. Signed. Measurements: 16 x 41 cm. Giuliano Tosi, comes from a lineage steeped in glassmaking tradition dating back to 1483. His journey in the world of glass began at the tender age of 12, under the tutelage of the master Albino Carrara. Recognizing Tosi's growing mastery, Carrara gave him his corteo, an essential glass cutting tool, symbolizing a rite of passage and an honor that Tosi cherishes to this day. Tosi's expertise goes beyond traditional techniques, as evidenced by his introduction of the external sbruffi technique in kilns, a method that enhances vibrancy and color variation. His works have graced galleries around the world, including Milan's Fashion District, Chicago, New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, making him a significant figure in the history of Murano glass over the past six decades.
