    Exhibition Reception: Conteria Windows

    Description

    Exhibition Reception of the exhibition "Conteria Windows."

     

    For The Venice Glass Week 2020, American artist and designer Leslie Ann Genninger presents a unique collection of jewelry and objects dedicated to Murano Glass and its sophisticated blowing techniques with a focus on the "Conteria" beads, which date back to the 15th Century. Her fascination began over 30 years ago when she visited Murano for the first time and discovered ancient storage buildings packed to capacity with stacked wooden crates of these minute beads in an infinite number of shapes, colors and styles: onde, tubetto, taglio obliquo, tre-facettes, macà, rigatine, incamiciate, metallizzate, iride, and ghiaccio. Each object and piece of jewelry in this special collection contains a kaleidoscope of Murano's history viewed through the blown "Conteria Windows”.
