Footnote
Salviati Meets London was an exhibition curated by Vessel gallery in the year 2000. It sought to use some of Britain’s foremost creative talents, including Tord Boontje, Nigel Coates, Tom Dixon and Anish Kapoor, to collaborate with Salviati creating works executed in Murano by Italy’s master craftsmen.
Nadia Demetriou Ladas, Director of Vessel stated that the collaboration was about 'paying homage to the old techniques but the forms are very different to the Venetian styles - much simpler and purer'.
