Born in 1942, Narcissus Quagliata studied painting and graphics in
Rome and completed his studies at the Art Institute of San
Francisco. Very early on, he discovered glass as the most suitable
material with which to express himself artistically, focussing in
particular on the phenomenon of light and its interplay with
coloured glass. In cooperation with industry, Quagliata
experimented at an early stage with the development of new forms
and applications of glass. Today Narcissus Quagliata is considered
one of the most significant glass artists, drawing worldwide
attention through his spectacular works in public spaces, such as
the Taiwan Dome of Light, the largest illuminated glass ceiling in
the world, which forms the roof of the subway station in Kaohsiung,
Taiwan. The construction stretches across an approximately
30-metre-wide space. His glass dome in the Santa Maria degli Angeli
church, built by Michelangelo within the Baths of Diocletian in
Rome, is equally well-known. It provides colourful illumination for
the famous entry rotunda of the basilica.
