About the Artist
Alessandro Barbaro (born 1936) is one of the most accomplished contemporary masters of Murano glass. Working on the island of Murano, Venice, Barbaro became internationally recognized for his imaginative figurative sculptures that combine centuries-old Venetian glassmaking techniques with bold modern artistic expression. His work ranges from monumental architectural installations to highly collectible portrait sculptures, and is prized for its exceptional craftsmanship, vibrant color palette, and sculptural originality.

About the Piece
This striking hand-blown Murano glass portrait sculpture exemplifies Alessandro Barbaro's distinctive Cubist-inspired style. Rendered in brilliant ruby red, turquoise, black, amber, and crystal-clear glass, the asymmetrical face recalls the fragmented perspectives of Pablo Picasso while remaining unmistakably Barbaro in execution. Rising approximately 21 inches tall, the sculpture demonstrates extraordinary technical mastery, with its delicately formed facial features, flowing transparent neck, and vivid color accents creating a work that is equally compelling from every angle. Signed at the base, this is an outstanding example of contemporary Murano art glass. See less
