Contemporary artAll about glassThis gallery, located near to Piazza San Marco, is owned and directed by Caterina Tognon, who collaborates with international artists and designers primarily working with glass. Occasionally the gallery takes an interest in the contemporary ceramic world. Caterina is deeply interested in investigating the cross section between fine art and applied arts. The gallery therefore retains a powerful identity and a recognisable style which has earned it a loyal following. She selects the projects personally and, depending on the theme of the exhibition, makes use of different curators. Since its founding in 1998, the gallery’s exhibition programme has favoured solo shows. Caterina also organises major exhibitions in collaboration with cultural institutions and museums in Venice and is a founding member of Cotisse.
