In the 1970s and 1980s, Gambone went on to experiment with glass in partnership with manufacturers in the Colle Val D’Elsa area, and with other studios in Venice, designing jewelry and furniture works inspired by the same imaginary animals which frequented his ceramic works. Gambone’s work has been the subject of major solo and international exhibitions and has left an invaluable impression on the canon of art history.
