Lino Tagliapietra’s career is defined by a dedication to workmanship, innovation and collaboration. Born in 1934 on the island of Murano, Italy, Tagliapietra began his apprenticeship at the age of 11 with Muranese master Achimede Sequso from whom Tagliapietra achieved the status of Maestro Vetraio by the age of 21. As James Yood, adjunct professor of art history at the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago wrote, “there are probably no two words more respected and honored in the the history of modern sculpture in glass than Lino Tagliapietra; he is the living bridge, the crucial link between the august history of Venetian glass and the ceaseless wonders of what today we call the modern Studio Glass Movement”.
