Marc Chagall & Egidio Costantini 15 1/2in. (39.5cm) high "Anfora Sposi"-a hand crafted glass vase, the rose-tinted body decorated in relief with two lovers, a clear glass violet-tinted handle depicting male and female faces; inscribed on the base M. Chagall-E. Costantini, 1954, Fucina degli Angeli, Venecia, and numbered 2 from an edition limited to 3. NB: Egidio Costantini was born in Brindisi on April 22nd, 1912 and moved to Venice upon the death of his father in 1918. He studied there at a technical college and initially worked at the Circolo Motonautico of Venice. After World War II he embarked on a glass making career starting first as an agent for several Murano glass factories but soon began to mediate collaborations between glass blowers, artists, and himself to create glass sculptures based on drawings by contemporary artists. He began to work with a group of Venetian artists and from this came the founding of the Centro Studio Pittori Nel 'Arte del Vetro di Murano in 1950. After a successful collaboration with Oskar Kokoschka, he travelled to Paris to work with some of the most famous artists of the Day. He collaborated most significantly with Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Jean Arp, Gino Severini, Alexander Calder, and in 1954 with Mark Chagall. Chagall, already famous as a designer of stained glass, was fascinated by the mysterious chemistry of glass and fire. "Costantini" he wrote "gave wealth to the range of colours of the painter, the violence of which is an agreement by moderate tone well differentiated". From 1954 onwards, the two artists developed together themes of love (as demonstrated here with Anfora Sposi), nature (Paesaggio Contadino) and religion (King David). The Fucina degli Angeli (Forge of the Angels) was Costantini's studio gallery in Venice. After opening to initial success, the gallery was forced to shut in 1958, but re-opened in 1961 thanks to patronage from the famous American collector Peggy Guggenheim who exhibited the work of the Fucina in her Venetian palace.
