Description

Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass: American Artists and the Magic of Murano brings to life the Venetian glass revival of the late nineteenth century and the artistic experimentation Venice inspired for visiting artists. It is the first comprehensive examination of American tourism, artmaking, and art collecting in Venice, revealing the glass furnaces and their new creative boom as a vibrant facet of the city’s allure.

The exhibition is organized by Crawford Alexander Mann III, former curator of prints and drawings at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, current Chief Curator at Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia.
