Licatas graphisches Werk erhält wichtige Impulse durch die Begegnung mit Stanley Hayter, Johnny Friedländer und Henri Goetz. Regelmäßige Kontakte bestehen mit Matta, Victor Brauner, Friedensreich Hundertwasser und den italienischen Malern Aldo Mondino und Tancredi. In Zusammenarbeit mit der Manufaktur 'Marco Polo' und dem Studio Berengo Fine Arts in Murano entstehen Objekte und Kleinplastiken in limitierten Auflagen. (H. Ricke & E. Schmitt, Italienisches Glas - Murano Mailand 1930-1970, München - New York, 1996, S. 324). Die Eigentümer hatten über den Besitzer der NUOVA MARCO POLO auf Murano, Herrn Berengo, Kontakt zu Prof. Licata. Herr Berengo zeigte ihnen ein Foto eines - allerdings kleineren - Glasgemäldes, dass Riccardo Licata für einen Kaufhausbesitzer aus Südkorea gemalt hatte. Daraufhin gaben sie den Auftrag für das o.g. Glasgemälde. Riccardo Licata hat den Besitzern damals versichert, dass er aufgrund der Schwierigkeit des Malens auf einer derart großen Unterlage nie mehr einen solchen Auftrag ausführen würde. Born in Turin, Italy in 1929, Riccardo Licata lived with his family for a short period to Paris; they then moved to Rome where he remained until 1945. Since 1946 he has lived between Venice and Paris. After his studies at an arts high school and at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, he received a scholarship in 1957 from the French government to experiment with color engraving and new techniques. The same year he became Gino Severini's assistant at the École d'Art Italienne in Paris, beginning an impressive career as a teacher. Painter, engraver, mosaicist, sculptor and set designer, he first began to exhibit in 1949 with the group of young abstract painters in Venice. In 1951 he had his first one-man show in Venice; since 1952 he has participated in the biennials of Venice, Sao Paolo in Brazil, Tokyo, Paris, Ljubljana, Alexandria in Egypt, as well as in the Rome Quadrennial and the Milano Triennial. He has had one-man shows in important cities both in Italy and around the world. Of particular importance are his large 1990 traveling show in Spain curated by Enzo di Martino and his retrospective exhibition at Venice's Ca' Pesaro Museum of Modern Art. His works are found in museums of modern art in Chicago, Milan, Florence, Mulhouse, New York, Paris, Warsaw, Stockholm, Vienna and, of course, Venice. His work has been profoundly influenced by regularly attending musical events like those at Teatro la Fenice or the Venice Biennial's Festival Of Contemporary Music. In fact, his unmistakable pictorial-graphic writing that began to take shape in the 1950s was inspired by music. Starting with the materials he uses, the artist always demonstrates the same rigor and expressive purity, and through his complex and original ''writing'' - a truly personal yet at the same time universal language - he has looked for a new means to depict reality. (www.berengo.com) The owners were in contact with Mr. Berrengo and Riccardo Licata. Mr. Berrengo showed them a small glass painting which Licata designed for a department store owner in South Korea. Hereupon they gave Licata the instruction to design this lot. After finishing his work Riccardo Licata promised the owners that he wouldn't create such a big glass painting anymore because of the heaviness.
