Ermanno Nason Masterpieces at Design-and-Arts Auction

Design-and-Arts presents their 13th auction: MUSEUM COLLECTION CENEDESE, Ermanno Nason, a private collection from the Cenedese family from the period 1963-72.

Ermanno Nason was born in 1928. Already as a young boy, he met the most important artists and master glassblowers. Gino Cenedese realized his outstanding talent and employed him very early to execute and design unique and complex pieces (vases, sculptures, etc.) during his most important period from 1963-72.

The auction presents a comprehensive overview of his early works at the Cenedese glass factory. Sensational, partly published but mostly unveiled and unique masterpieces.

Sale Dates: 8 May 2020 - 12 May 2020
