Lino Tagliapietra: Maestro, Mentore | Aug 2024

07/13/2024 By Laura Chapman

This August, Traver Gallery welcomes Maestro Lino Tagliapietra and his principal team members, Nancy Callan, Jen Elek, John Kiley, Dante Marioni, and Dave Walters, to the gallery for a special exhibition. We invite you to join us on Thursday, August 1st, from 5 to 8 p.m. as we gather to celebrate the opening of this extraordinary show.

Lino Tagliapietra: Maestro, Mentore showcases the work of legendary glass sculptor Lino Tagliapietra alongside works by the five team members who have worked most closely with him: Nancy Callan, Jen Elek, John Kiley, Dante Marioni, and Dave Walters. Exhibiting together for the first time, the works of these six immensely talented glass artists tell a story of artistic mentorship and mutual reverence.

For this unique exhibition, each of Lino’s principal team members, along with Bill Traver, Gallery Founder, and Jacopo Vecchiato, Lino’s Grandson and Executive Manager, were invited to hand-select an archived sculpture from Lino’s illustrious body of work that personally resonated with them. Lino, in turn, selected favorite works by each of the five artist team members. The selected works will be displayed together, with insights from the artists about their selections.

On the occasion of his 90th birthday, and coinciding with the release of the new Documentary “Sono Lino,” Maestro, Mentore illustrates precisely the profound and enduring legacy of Lino Tagliapietra. It celebrates the historical career of Lino Tagliapietra, his rich, collaborative relationships, and the profound personal connections within his glassblowing community. We are eager and honored to share these extraordinary works and the stories behind them with you, our friends, and collectors.
