Fucina Angeli Venezia - Egidio Costantini y James Coignard - Sculpture, Immagine - 33 cm - Murano glass - 1978

Work belonging to the historic series of the Fucina degli Angeli, a movement currently honored in the grand exhibition of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice (2026-2027).

Exceptional museum-quality bas-relief in solid glass titled "Immagine" (1978), born of the historic collaboration between the renowned French abstract painter James Coignard (1925–2008) and the legendary master glassmaker Egidio Costantini (1912–2007), founder of the Fucina degli Angeli in Venice.
This work is a Unique Piece (Monotype 1/1), interpreted individually in solid glass with a striking central anthropomorphic silhouette, surrounded by fragments of white-milk glass and chromatic details in red, yellow, blue and green at the edges.
