Description from the seller

Monumental Sculpture "Volto Picasso" - Mario Badioli - Murano Glass Solid and Polychrome - 4.5 kg

Absolute masterwork of contemporary Murano glass art, this monumental sculpture depicting a face in Picasso-inspired style is a top-tier piece created by master Mario Badioli.
The work stands out for exceptional technical and aesthetic complexity: the flowing mane is modeled in opaque black glass with white filigree veins, while the central face features multicolored blotches (ochre yellow, ruby red and deep blue) enclosed in a substantial thickness of transparent glass and cobalt blue solid glass.
Completing the piece are the original label of Vetreria Artistica Badioli on the front and the hand-engraved diamond-point signature "Badioli" on the base.
