Murano Glass Portrait Bust "Il Volto" by Mario Badioli and Robert Scherer
Italy, late 20th century
An exquisite Murano glass portrait bust of "Il Volto" by the distinguished artists Mario Badioli and Robert Scherer. Crafted in the late 20th century in Italy, this masterwork stands at a captivating 15 inches in height, with dimensions of 5.25 inches in width and 4.5 inches in depth.
Reflecting the influence of Picasso, the sculpture is a remarkable work in Murano glass, with a striped figural abstract head adorned with intricately applied Egyptian-inspired eyes. The composition seamlessly melds the classical with the avant-garde, reflecting the artists' exceptional skill and innovative vision. The sculpture is presented on a clear Murano glass base, providing stability and elevating its overall aesthetic appeal.
This work is inscribed with a delicate signature in script, confirming the creation of both Robert Scherer and Mario Badioli. The pedestal base is engraved with the dedication "Da assic a Robert Scherer ilvolto mario Badioli." This unique artwork is not only a testament to the mastery of Murano glass craftsmanship but also a timeless embodiment of artistic collaboration. With its striking presence and cultural resonance, "Il Volto" is ready to add to any collection or interior.
