Stunning Rollin Karg Dichroic Iridescent Art Glass Scul
Up for sale is a fantastic, beautiful large piece of vintage Rollin Karg signed hand blown glass sculpture from 2002. Wonderfully done in iridescent dichroic glass in shades of blue, green and gold that I think resemble a Peacock feather it measures approximately 11 inches high 11.5 wide and 3.5 inches deep and is heavy weighing a bit over 24.5 pounds. It is in beautiful condition with no chips or cracks. There are a few minor scratches on the bottom of the base as with any art glass. 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.
