Joel Bloomberg has been designing and creating sculptural and functional artworks for galleries, designers and collectors since opening his studio in 1980. Largely self-taught in his glass designs, Bloomberg earned degrees from two of California's most respected glass schools : Palomar College (Associate Degree in Chemistry and Glass) and California State University, Chico (Bachelors Degree in Glass and Sculpture).

This lamp, in sparkling colors of rose through gold and white, exemplifies his extraordinary work.  It is fitted for a bulb in the base, and in the top.  I have only used the top bulb.  It is signed, and dated as an early piece, 1983 or 1985.  It measures 18.5" tall including the finial.  It features a push button switch on the upper light, and a cord turn switch as well. Bloomberg's jellyfish lamps, developed later in his studio, sell for $1500 to $2000.

The many site-specific glass sculptures he has created by commission include those for the city of West Hollywood,CA; the Great American Bank, San Diego; the Gesim Corporation, Calabasas, CA, Coastal Flats Restaurant, McLean,VA, and Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Oceanside, CA.

Joel Bloomberg's work has been shown at more than 100 galleries and museums in the United States and Canada, including the Downey Museum of Art, CA; the Los Angeles Museum of Art ; the Harvard University Museum of Natural History, and is part of the permanent collections of the White House, Washington, DC and the Corning Museum of Glass.

His work is included in major collections throughout North America, Japan, and Europe. This is your opportunity to own an incredible work of art.
