Tessa Papas and I had a very enlightening conversation the other day about art, glass and her work as curator for this hotel’s art collection. Like I mentioned the other day, Tessa literally circled the globe looking for pieces to include in the collection. “I ended up with a list of about 300 artists that I wanted to include. From there, I winnowed the list down to about 70.” At last count, that number was dialed in at 44 artists from Japan, Scotland, Greece, Italy, the Czech Republic and many other countries. It’s a truly international collection. When asked if she had an overarching theme or concept, she said, “Not really. I went with my gut feeling when I decided which artists and their work to choose.” As it stands, the Hotel Murano collection reflects Tessa’s personal vision. But, clearly, the appeal is universal.
