Hello Adam A.
I just tried this link, and it took me to "Venetian Glass", but that only has an overview of the exhibition. Was it supposed to have another link taking you to actual photos and descriptions of individual pieces?  

On book advice> This year I also have spent more than a few $$$ on books. I decided that it would be best to spend it on individual makers, books like Venini, Martens, Seguso that have actual catalogued photos of their archives, and extended research. I think those are worth it.
I also bought "Carlo Scarpa I vetri di Murano 1927-1947", which I don’t recommend. Most of the pieces pictured are already in the Venini books. I bought it thinking it would show something different but it doesn’t.

Libraries> I have also tried doing my research by going to libraries, and found close to nothing on Murano Glass. While I lived in Baltimore I visited often the library of the Maryland Institute College of Art, (where I graduated from) which has a huge collection of Art Books, Catalogues, Periodicals etc. and even there I didn’t find much information on Murano Glass. They also have an almost complete collection of the DOMUS catalogues, and I did find some nice articles, but nothing that hasn’t been seen in books already, or photos that have been reprinted in catalogues. If researching Barbini or Seguso, good luck because I didn’t find but 1 article at most.
As far as DOMUS in all other areas, it is an amazing source to have, if you can find them, specially for the photos of Modern Art/Installation/Furniture/etc!
