Large Seguso Black Glass Bird
About the Item
Seguso was formed in 1932 by Archimede Seguso, Napoleone Barovier (1881-1957), Antonio Ernesto, Luigi Olimpio Ferro, and the brothers Angelo and Bruno Seguso. They collaborated with Vittorio Zecchin in the beginning and exhibited at Venice Biennales and Milan Triennales in the 1930s. Archimede Seguso became the maestro di prima piazza, while Flavio Poli, who began to free-lance in 1934, served as artistic director from 1937-1963. When Ferro left in 1937, Poli took his place as a partner. Poli is known for his designs calling for the sommerso technique, in which thick layers of colored glass appear to float inside other layers.
Of the many postwar successes, the valva series won the Compasso d'Oro in 1954. Poli left in 1963, and Mario Pinzoni was artistic director from 1963 until 1971.
