“We have long-standing ties with Glasstress. Today Glasstress is in the Hermitage. It is a very good formula for an exhibition, making it possible to present a broad spectrum of contemporary art, famous and still not so famous artists, uniting them through the magical material that is glass. Glass is one of humanity’s greatest artistic inventions. People have learnt to imitate nature impeccably and to create no worse than it does,” Mikhail Piotrovsky, General Director of the State Hermitage.
