This exhibition draws upon the NGV's extensive holdings of Venetian glass, from the 16th to 20th century. The NGV's collections are especially rich in material from the 19th-century revival of the glass industry on the Venetian island of Murano.
In 1871 a large collection of Venetian glass was acquired directly from Venice by the proconsul to the Kingdom of Italy, and a further group of works was acquired in 1874, selected by Antonio Salviati, the father of the Venetian glass revival. Further important groups of 19th-century Venetian glass entered the collection from the Italian displays at the 1880-81 Melbourne International Exhibition.
The 20th century saw Venetian glass artists become key participants in the international Studio Glass movement. It was to Venetian glass manufacturers that designers of the 1980s Memphis Group turned to realise their postmodern ideals.
