Dino Martens has undoubtedly made one of the most substantial contributions to the 20th century revival of glass-making in Murano. Born in 1894, Martens began his career in 1924 and was active for 40 years. He worked in numerous Murano glass factories, but his most important work was done for Aureliano Toso. The Catalogue of Work is divided into three sections. First, over 180 objects and original drawings from all periods of the artist's work are explained. The second section represents the first complete publication of the work Martens produced for Aureliano Toso (1938-1963). The third section comprises 224 historical archive photos. Designed to facilitate assured attribution of glass to Dino Martens via form, designs and techniques, this is the definitive catalogue of his work
