Cornacchia 2000

"Cornacchia" is a 2000 glass sculpture by renowned Italian glassblower Lino Tagliapietra. The piece showcases Tagliapietra's mastery of glassblowing techniques, exhibiting a unique, organic form. The sculpture features a contrasting color scheme, with the orange and amber tones of the "wings" contrasting with the cool, almost metallic, gray of the base. This contrast is further emphasized by the intricate, layered patterns of the wings, juxtaposed against the textured surface of the base. The sculpture's abstract form is evocative of natural elements like a bird in flight, or a blossoming flower, and is a hallmark of Tagliapietra's artistic style.
