Straw Red Hourglass

Hourglass by Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini (1957, code 420.06) , 25 cm high, 10 cm in diameter, weight 0.21 kg , made with the Incalmo blown technique. The straw-yellow and red chromatic contrast and the fine grains of sand symbolize the flow of time , integrating into the slender glass for a perfect balance between form and material . An elegant and poetic object, a symbol of art and precision.
