Laura de Santillana (Ph: Victor Edelstein, c/o Glasmuseet Ebeltoft) |
A deep connection to the natural world and the realm of the senses
lies at the heart of Laura de Santillana’s art and design. Subtle in
color and minimal in form, her modernist objects inhabit a liminal space
between painting and sculpture.
A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, de
Santillana worked as a graphic designer at the New York design firm of
Vignelli Associates (1976). She returned to her hometown of Venice,
Italy and began an active collaboration with Vetreria Venini & C. in
Murano (1976–1985), founded by her grandfather, Paolo Venini. Her work
first appeared in the United States through the traveling exhibition
“New Glass: A Worldwide Survey,” organized by The Corning Museum of
Glass, Corning, NY (1979). She was the designer and artistic director of
Eos in Italy (1985–1993), and later worked as a designer for
international clients such as Rosenthal and Ivan Baj.
Beth Lipman |
Beth Lipman is best known for her sculptural works in glass that are
inspired by still-life paintings from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
Continuing her exploration of material culture as a means to understand
desire and consumption, she has more recently investigated Victorian
decorative arts, juxtaposing reimagined 19th-century domestic objects
with their contemporary counterparts.
Lipman received her B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art, Temple
University, Philadelphia, in 1994. She has received awards from the New
Hampshire State Council on the Arts/NEA and the Brooklyn Arts
Council/DCA. Her work has been the focus of solo exhibitions at
galleries and museums across the United States, and she has participated
in group exhibitions worldwide.
