About the artist

Angelo Brotto (1914–2002) was a Venetian designer. He graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia in 1941, and created pieces for Peggy Guggenheim’s collection. Brotto collaborated with the Murano glassmaker Esperia during the 1960s and 1970s, and he became a prolific lighting designer during this collaboration. His lamps, in particular, quickly earned acclaim for capturing the sensibility of the time, creating playful and artistic modern shapes, and breaking with the traditional ways in which the glassmaking skills of Murano were applied in light designs. He participated in many biennials, won a great number of prizes and and his creations are still celebrated.
