To mark the occasion of his exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation that ran from 29 April to May 29, 2006, Jean-Michel Othoniel presented seven glass sculptures displayed along the canal-side exterior of the palace. In the center of the building, a giant necklace in marine colors specially created for this occasion by Murano glassblowers decorated the entrance to the museum, beckoning the public inside. The base of the monumental 9-meter-high work was surrounded by four aluminum cruciform sculptures mounted in colorful glass beads ; two of them called “Geometries in Love”, red and green in color, flanked the necklace on both sides ; two others, “Candelabras,” were displayed on the dock. Two colored glass hangings framed the top of the giant necklace like “Suspended Lovers” in the museum windows. Nine years after the first exhibition in the gardens of the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation, Othoniel pays homage to Venitian glassmakers, who have greatly influenced his creative output these past few years.
