I went to a wonderful exhibition of glass in London at "The Studio Glass Gallery" very early on in my interest in art glass. It was a Czech-Japanese connection theme. It blew my brains out!
I fell in love with a piece by Vladimir Klein, a large sculptural thing, incorporating a central wedge of opalescent glass, kind of triangular overall, but with a sort of wave form in it.
At the time, I had very little confidence in my own gut-feelings about glass, and while I could have afforded it (I had just had an inheritance), it was just a bit too expensive for me to actually go with my feelings about it.
I have regretted it ever since. It is my biggest ever glass regret.
Another exhibit was a massive yellow banana about 4 feet long, not a single imperfection in the clarity of the glass - not one tiny bubble, not one tiny swirl. Absolute perfection. Looking through it from the ends, it, did amazing optical things. There are vaguely similar pieces in your images here.
I fell in love with that too, but could never have afforded it. :thud:
Thanks you again for sharing such wonderful images with us Jindrich, :thup: :thup: :thup:
......but I'm off to cry into my coffee.
Bitter regret has been exhumed from the depths of my being. :cry:
