Monumental Rollin Karg Studio Art Glass Sculpture

Monumental Rollin Karg Studio Art Glass Sculpture
Up for sale is a stunning, beautiful large piece of vintage Rollin Karg signed hand blown abstract freeform glass sculpture done in the year 2000. Wonderfully done in shades of blue encased in clear it measures approximately 23 inches high and 9.5 inches wide at its base and is very heavy coming in at a bit over 36 pounds. It is in beautiful condition overall with 3 small chips on the base. Two are miniscule probably measuring around 1/32nd of an inch or less each and the 3rd is about 1/8 an inch but all are not noticeable without looking for them (shown in the last two pictures). Other than than that its pretty much like the day it was made. Rollin Karg is a renowned glass artisan from the Midwest who designs and creates small and massive sculptural pieces from molten glass, usually shaped in a freeform, asymmetrical manner. He brings the glass to life through his dynamic use of color, especially dichroic colors – a color that transmits one color while reflecting another – which adds a unique dimension to the piece. While Karg prefers to use traditional techniques of glassmaking that are thousands of years old, he also adds his own inventive techniques to each project. It is amazing and awe-inspiring to watch him create massive works of art through the use of a five-foot blowpipe. Karg spent the first part of his career as an industrial engineer, photographer, potter and woodworker before becoming a full time glass artist in 1983, he has quickly gained notoriety for his contribution to the world of glass art. He has won many awards in competitions and shows throughout the United States and his work has been shown at galleries and exhibitions throughout most of North America.
