The second edition of the International Summer School on Glass Studies, co-organized by the Vitrocentre Romont and the University of Fribourg, is dedicated to contemporary movements in 20th and 21st century glass art.
La deuxième édition de la Journée suisse de l'historicisme sera consacrée à un aspect central de la production artistique et architecturale du XIXe siècle et de la Belle-Epoque : les transferts artistiques et technologiques dans un contexte de plus en plus globalisé.
Dans le cadre d’un colloque international, le Vitromusée Romont et son partenaire scientifique le Vitrocentre Romont organiseront en collaboration avec la Société Suisse-Asie une rencontre de spécialistes internationaux et d’artistes suisses qui sera dédiée au verre et à la production artisanale.
Built in 1609 for Ital Reding, "Reding-Haus an der Schmiedgasse" in Schwyz holds a large collection of Swiss stained glass from the 16th–20th century. The catalogue of the stained glass panels and introductory texts are now published on vitrosearch.ch.
The project aims to provide the hitherto lacking art-historical and material analysis of Islamic coloured glass windows (qamarīya) of the 17th to 19th centuries within Western museum collections and at World’s Fairs and to critically examine questions about their provenance.
The privately owned von Reding collection in Schwytz and its history were researched in collaboration with the Canton of Schwyz's Department of Culture.
The catalogue section of the publication has been available via the vitrosearch platform since July 2018. Discover the 416 stained glass panels on vitrosearch!
