We have been honored to host Pier Paolo Calzolari and his wife Karine Arneodo at the Olnick Spanu House in Garrison last Saturday and to guide them on a special visit of the Collection. A very special day with one of the masters of Arte Povera.
The exhibition Murano: Glass from the Olnick Spanu Collection is on view at the Consulate General of Italy in New York through February 24, 2017.
The show, open by appointment only, features a selection of Murano glass works dating from 1914 to 1933 drawn exclusively from the Collection of Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu and it is a tribute to the celebrations of the 70th Anniversary of the Italian Republic.
Watch this fascinating interview with Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu to discover more about their over 500 hand-blown Murano glass works and the singular passion that inspired them in their journey into glass collecting.
More information about the exhibition can be found here.
