Italian Glass Auction by Wright

I read in the New York Times about an amazing Italian glass auction by Wright.  The auction will be in Chicago on June 9, 2012.

The Frank Toskan Collection is a single-owner sale featuring over 150 lots of important art glass from Italy. Collected over a period of 20 years, the collection includes masterworks by Dino Martens, Ercole Barovier, Fulvio Bianconi, Paolo Venini and Carlo Scarpa among many others.
