On 13 April 2015 the exhibition Glass from Finland in the Bischofberger Collection<\/strong> will open on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The exhibition is curated jointly by Kaisa Koivisto<\/strong>, chief\u00a0curator at the Finnish Glass Museum in Riihim\u00e4ki, Finland, and Pekka Korvenmaa<\/strong>, a professor at the Aalto University School\u00a0of Arts, Design and Architecture, Finland. This significant single loan of over 300 works of glass art from the Bischofberger Collection is highly representative of the excellence of Finnish and international design. The exhibition will enable a wider public to experience the fascination and brilliance of glass art as they explore masterpieces by leading 20th-century Finnish designers: Aino and Alvar Aalto, Arttu Brummer, Kaj Franck, G\u00f6ran Hongell, Gunnel Nyman, Timo Sarpaneva,\u00a0Oiva Toikka and Tapio Wirkkala.<\/p>\n

The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to see for the first time some very rare objects, often one-off pieces, which Bruno<\/strong> and Christina Bischofberger<\/strong> have passionately and discerningly collected over the last forty years. The unique nature of these objects highlights the original intentions of each artist or designer and makes this collection of Finnish glass one of the most important worldwide. Abundantly documenting the various historical periods, the works selected for the exhibition Glass from Finland in the Bischofberger Collection are laid out in an elegant itinerary that ranges from crystal items with the typical hues of the early 1930s up to the more colourful, at times even \u201cpsychedelic\u201d, creations of the 1970s. The works by the sculptor and designer Tapio Wirkkala are particularly worth watching out for, and especially his series Ultima Thule: the glasses, jugs and vases are like blocks of ice, with \u201cdripping\u201d surfaces, creating an interplay of transparencies and reflections verging on the abstract. The bottle created for Finlandia Vodka, still in production, is one of the most accomplished and famous items in the collection. The fascinating, rich survey curated by Kaisa Koivisto and Pekka Korvenmaa for Le Stanze del Vetro on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore presents the finest results from a century of glass production, enabling visitors to explore all the nuances and variations in a celebration of timeless designs of the very highest standard.<\/p>\n
