With its powerful yet flowing lines and the harmonious balance between dynamism and tranquility, the sculpture embodies the extraordinary formal language for which Seguso is internationally renowned. The finely nuanced smoke-grey crystal glass gives the figure a fascinating depth and allows light to play impressively through the sculpturally modelled contours. Depending on the viewing angle, new reflections constantly emerge, impressively highlighting the sculptural character of the object.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003eThe powerfully modelled bull impressively embodies Livio Seguso's unmistakable understanding of glass as a sculptural material. Such animal sculptures were created both in his own workshop on \u003cstrong data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003eMurano\u003c\/strong\u003e and in collaboration with \u003cstrong data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003eGral Glas\u003c\/strong\u003e in Dürnau during the 1970s. Since the designs of both productions are stylistically very similar, this model is today attributed to both the Murano production and the cooperation with Gral Glas. This close connection makes the sculpture a particularly attractive collector's item and an important testament to European post-war glass art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1888\"\u003eLivio Seguso (b. 1930 in Murano) is one of the most significant Italian glass artists of the 20th century.
