About the artist:
Loredano Rosin was an Italian sculptor best known for his traditional use of Murano glass to depict stylized figures and animals. By employing an ancient Italian technique from Calcedonia, he used silver nitrate to create subtle color striations in his figurines. Rosin worked as a master glass blower for Salviati & Company, where he notably collaborated with artists such as Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall in realizing their vision in glass. Born in 1936 in Venice, Italy, he studied with Romano Zanelli and Cocui Saor as a teenager before establishing his own studio, where he worked with his brothers Mirko and Dino Rosin.
Loredano Rosin has exhibited widely in personal and collective shows in Europe, Japan and North America.
'Il Presepe Incantato', 'The Enchanted Nativity', which he created in collaboration with the Sicilian artist, Pippo Madè, has been displayed at the Cathedral of Monreale in Palermo, 1983 - 84, and the Cathedral of Assisi, 1984 - 85, and is the subject of the book, Da Murano a Monreale by Aldo Gerbino and Giuseppe di Nunno. He has been invited to demonstrate and teach the techniques of solid free-hand glass sculpture in Venezuela, Romania, the United States and Canada.
In July - August, 1988, he taught the first course ever offered by Pilchuck Glass School in solid free-hand glass sculpture in collaboration with his brother, Dino and the America glass artist, William Morris.
In April, 1989, he was invited to be a lecturer by the Glass Art Society Conference in Toronto, where he gave hot glass demonstrations to an international audience of specialists in glass. Pieces that he has made form part of the permanent collections of several major Museums including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Museum of Modem Art in New York, the Museum of Art in Philadelphia, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and the Museum of Art in New Orleans.
Loredano Rosin dies in the Venice lagoon through head injuries sustained after colliding with a mooring post on his water-scooter. His tragic death marks the loss of one of glass-art's greatest innovators.
