About the artist: "Stuart Abelman was one of a select group of pioneering studio glass artists who saw the magic and challenge inglass and set about starting the Studio Art Glass Movement. Stuart uses his own formulas and the finest silica sand to ensure the purest quality glasspossible. Each piece is made entirely of hot molten glass and is worked and completed atthe furnace. All the colors and design patterns are formed from the hot glass. No paint isused. Many of the beautiful colors are made with gold, silver and other precious metals. Stuart’s glass pieces are shown in galleries and museums around the world and have become permanent additions to museum, private and celebrity collections here and overseas. The Kobe Museum in Japan has a piece in its collection, and his piece in the permanent collection of the Corning Museum is particularly notable for its infusion of life into a figurative sculpture in glass. Stuart Abelman was the first to bring figurative sculpture to hand blown glass in the new art glass studio movement in the United States in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s."
