Dino Rosin "Amanti" The Lovers Iridescent Murano Art Glass Sculpture, Italy

Description

A Spectacular and Very Fine Signed Murano Art Glass Sculpture Titled "Amanti" (The Lovers) by Celebrated Maestro Dino Rosin, Italy, Late 20th Century This is a truly exceptional and visually stunning example of "Amanti" (The Lovers) by the celebrated Murano glass maestro Dino Rosin (Italian, born 1948). The sculpture is formed as two abstract ovoid heads rising from a pair of elegantly attenuated clear glass stems, each head worked in Rosin's signature freehand technique in a spectacular combination of mouth-blown and hand-worked glass displaying a breathtaking iridescent palette of deep purples, rich reds, warm golds, and brilliant greens with swirling feathered striation throughout. The interplay of color within each form is extraordinary, shifting and intensifying as light passes through the glass from different angles. Both heads lean together in a tender and intimate gesture, conveying the emotional weight of the subject with a remarkable economy of form. The pair is mounted on a solid rectangular black glass plinth which is etched with Rosin's signature to the base. What distinguishes this particular example from the many "Amanti" sculptures known in the market is the exceptional brilliance and complexity of the coloration. The standard production of this subject is most commonly encountered in the gray-blue chalcedony colorway for which the Rosin studio is best known. This example, with its vivid iridescent swirl of purples, reds, golds and greens, represents a far rarer and more visually commanding version of the composition, and one that displays the full range of Rosin's extraordinary command of color and light within the glass medium. Dino Rosin was born in Venice in 1948 and moved with his family to the glassmaking island of Murano while still an infant. At the age of twelve he began his apprenticeship at the renowned Barovier e Toso factory before joining his brothers Loredano and Mirko at their studio, Artvet, in 1963. He worked alongside Loredano for nearly twenty years, becoming a master in his own right in both hot glass work and cold finishing. Following Loredano's untimely death in 1992, Dino assumed the role of maestro and continued to develop his own body of work under the Studio Rosin name. In 1988 Dino was invited alongside Loredano to teach freehand glass sculpture at the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State, an honor that brought his work to the attention of the international art glass community. His sculptures are held in major museum and private collections worldwide, with the largest permanent exhibition of his work housed at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. The piece is signed Dino Rosin to the base and is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
