Having won great public and critical acclaim, the exhibition Carlo Scarpa. Venini 1932 – 1947, curated by Marino Barovier, is moving to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, with a new title: Venetian Glass by Carlo Scarpa: The Venini Company, 1932 – 1947. Due to run from 5 November 2013 to 2 March 2014, the New York exhibition has been organised by Nicholas Cullinan, curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan, with the assistance of Mary Clare McKinley, a research assistant in the same department. This is the first ever exhibition entirely devoted to Murano glass staged by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

 The original Venice show marked the beginning in August 2012 of exhibiting activities in Le Stanze del Vetro (Rooms for Glass) on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. This long-term cultural project was launched by Pentagram Stiftung and the Giorgio Cini Foundation with the aim of studying and showcasing the art of Venetian glassmaking in the 20th century.

Following the same logic as the Venice show, Venetian Glass by Carlo Scarpa: The Venini Company, 1932 – 1947 will be installed in the Metropolitan chronologically, with the pieces on view further divided into groups according to technique and glass texture (from sommersi to murrine romane, corrosi and a pennellate).
