Leiko Ikemura Traslucent | La forma della luce

With a long career spanning painting and sculpture, Leiko Ikemura has in recent years turned to glass, drawn to its transparency, fragility and capacity to hold light. Published on the occasion of the artist’s exhibition at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice, Leiko Ikemura: TransLucent – The Form of Light brings Ikemura’s glass sculptures (several conceived expressly for the occasion) into dialogue with masterpieces from the museum’s permanent collection, including works by Titian and Tiepolo. This catalogue traces that dialogue across the Accademia’s historic rooms, offering the first comprehensive account of Ikemura’s work in glass.
