Welcome to the GMB. To place images you will need to click the 'Insert Image' icon (bottom row, left) and choose the photo from your disk. This forum does not support the [img] tag.

If you are having problems resizing them to the 125KB limit, then instructions are given here on how best to achieve this. I hope this helps.

Hello Frank Sacramento and welcome to the board.  I've fixed your image links so that your pics show on the board - the whole image URL needs to be inside one set of

Code: [Select]

[img] [/img] tags to make them work and somehow you had split two sets of the tags so it had all gone a bit wonky for you. 

As Tinypic links tend to vanish after a time so we have no idea what the question related to, we do ask that you add images directly to the board using the attach function. If you are agreeable I can copy your Tinypics and attach them for you to your post above.

If you need helping using the board there is, as David indicated above, a help forum with all sorts of handy hints and tips, or you can ask me or another moderator for help.

David and Anne Thank you for your help in posting my pictures. Hopefully someone will be able to come forward with the Artist name,method (injection) or where this piece originated from. I haven't seen anything like it.

Hi Frank,
I do not know much about this piece. However, it looks to me like it would have been cast lying down, with a triangular piece (maybe of wood or iron) present to create the hole. The marks on the top edge of the piece are very similar to cast marks I have seen on Czech and Scandinavian cast glass. The size is huge and not many places would have the facilities to cast such a big piece of glass. It seems to have also been polished along the front. A complex large sculpture. 60KG+ I am surprised it is not signed. It may be worth emailing Svoboda Ag in Karlov Czech Republic to see if J. Svoboda made it. Having said that, I wonder why Czech came to mind for you, was it sold to you as Czech? Interesting piece, you ought to get an attribution eventually!

I was recently lucky enough to be able to travel to Edingurgh to see this exhibition of contemporary Hungarian glass, curated by Attila Sik. (A member here.)

Some of the work was similar. The exhibition catalogue is here.

Good idea Sue, I see some similarities with work by Melcher. Frank can contact Attila through Prisma gallery if necessary to check this out.

Thanks for confirming what I saw!. The piece in question appears to have been made in three sections, glued back together, in order to incorporate some of the optical effects, several pieces in the exhibition were of similar construction.

Photos do not do the glass the slightest bit of justice - they are three dimensional colour sculptures. you have to be able to see them with stereoscopic vision and to be able to move around them to see all the myriad of effects and different things they can become.

The exhibition is now at Broadfield house, the tree fan looking one is up forsale (as are all of them), that one on the front cover is £21000 and the guys in the bath £5600 if your interested in purchasing them.
