MASTERWORKS:A Contemporary Glass Auction

An auction of contemporary glass works from the 1970s and beyond.

Thursday April 24th, 2014Preview 6:30-8:00 pm — Auction 8:00-9:30 pm

This auction is primarily based on the collection of California collectors Barbara and Warren Poole. Many of you know the Pooles from their active role in the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG), or from visiting their exquisite collection.

On my visit to their home several years ago, I was struck by how they articulated the thought and reasoning behind each piece that was on display. I loved how they combined this with an emotion and passion that made each work come alive. I hope that we can achieve this connection in our catalogue and auction. I thank Warren and Barbara for trusting Habatat Galleries with their precious objects.

We have also included other significant works to make the auction the best and most exciting event possible!

- Ferd Hampson

1. Leah Wingfield, Noche del Amor (Night of Love), 2006. 22.5 x 17 x 9.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “We had been watching for a piece by Leah for a long time, having missed several series we liked a lot. We saw this at Habatat and were excited that it was available. We placed it on a ledge between two rooms so we could enjoy both equally entrancing sides of it. The daylight going through it lit it in a different way than the beautiful night lighting. This cast and painted piece really captures the intensity of Tango.” Signed by the artist…$14,000 - $16,500

Cover: Nicolas Africano, Reclining Figure. 9.5 x 25 x 13”. 2010. (Poole collection & comments) “The de Young Museum has a piece by Nicolas from the (George and Dorothy) Saxe collection that we think is absolutely stunning. It inspired us to try to acquire a piece for ourselves, not an easy process, since his work is in great demand. This reclining figure was a new idea for us but we could not resist its elegance and peaceful aura. There were a couple galleries showing Africano’s work at an art fair in San Francisco. We were torn but ended up choosing this from Jenkins-Johnson Gallery in San Francisco.” Cast glass…$55,000 - $75,000

2. Jamie Guerrero, My Homies, 2005. 17 x 18 x 8”. (Poole collection & comments) “This blown and hot sculpted piece consisting of three distinctive figures won the Saxe Fellowship Award at the Bay Area Glass Institute auction in 2006. The figures represent people Jaime knew growing up and depict an eager young “homey” whose girl is more attracted to the fellow with the “abs” and beer bottle. Jaime is an exceptionally skilled artist with a wide range of expression and skills.” Signed by the artist…$4,500 - $7,000

3. Ann Wolff, Head, 2002. 7.25 x 8.25 x 7.25”. A great example of an Ann Wolff cast piece in a scale that is quite rare. We are not aware of another example of this sculpture in the United States. An edition of 7, it was acquired in Venice during a Habatat glass trip. From the collection of Donna and Barry Rice. Signed by the artist…$6,500 - $9,000

4. Yukako Kojima, Layers of Light 12-4, 2009. 8.5 x 14 x 2.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “This piece has an elegant simplicity that causes the viewer to look and to discover its meaning and process. It is created by layers and layers of laminated sheet glass, also known as safety glass, thus giving it a greenish glow. It changes with the light of the day and is most brilliant at night when lit from behind. We acquired this from Palette Contemporary Art of Albuquerque, NM, at SOFA 2009.” Signed by the artist…$2,500 - $4,500

5. Robert Michelson, Organism – Alien, 1998. 25 x 18 x 8.5”. (From a private collection) Inspired by nature, the “Organism Series” mimics surreal sea-form like corals and creatures. In Paul Stankard’s essay about Robert Michelson entitled “An Appreciation of Robert Michelson,” Mr. Stankard states: “Mickelsen’s creative instincts, natural curiosity, and hand skills aptitude challenged his need to make new things... His journey has been one of self-education, always reaching higher, willing to take risks and make his work personal.” Lampworked glass. Acquired from Habatat Galleries…$4,000 - $6,000

6. Michael Glancy, Diamonds in Beams Scale, 1984. 3 x 4 x 4”. (From a private collection) When Michael’s first child was born the experience inspired a series of small works that he called “In Beams Scale”. These jewels are unique examples of this master of glass and electro-forming. Signed “Michael Glancy 1981 Diamonds in Beams Scale MG81”…$8,000 - $10,000

7. Martin Blank, Red Landscape, 2010. 30 x 15.5 x 15.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “Martin knew that we had been yearning for a work of this kind and after much communication and months of waiting he produced this beautiful piece. Sunlight causes it to look almost on fire. Its surfaces are etched to emphasize the flowing shapes. Many of our visitors fall in love with it.” Four hot sculpted forms and wood base. Signed by and acquired from the artist…$28,000 - $35,0007.

8. William Morris, #66 Stenhytta, 1979. 16 x 7 x 4”. (From a private collection) Made in the town of Stenhytta in Sweden where Morris made work during 1979-80. This is an exceptional example of a very early blown work by William Morris. Even at this point in his illustrious career, he already displayed his skills that identified him as the best glass blower in America. The coloration of glass is similar to the Tabac Basket Series which was created by Dale Chihuly, with the help of William Morris around the same time this sculpture was created. Purchased from a German auction. Signed “William A Morris 66 Stemytta ‘79”…$10,000 - $12,000

9. Hiroshi Yamano, Fish Catcher Bag #116, 2005. 11.5 x 6.5 x 5”. (Poole collection & comments) “We had no idea when we acquired this piece that so many different processes (blown, hot sculpted, cold worked) had gone into creating it. We purchased it in New York but didn’t fully appreciate it until we met Hiroshi at an exhibit he had in a gallery on the island of Hawaii. We continually enjoy its elegance and wonder at the symbolism of the two hanging fish. Acquired from the Heller Gallery, New York, NY. Signed by the artist…$4,500 - $6,500

10. Bertil Vallien, Upright Boat, 1985. 42 x 12 x 75”. (From a private collection) The boat forms have long been part of Viking tradition representing the passage from life to death. The faces and masks are expressionless but suggest fear or longing, love or hate, watchfulness and thought. Sometimes a face or mask is the whole sculpture, sometimes it peers out from within a modernist form, suggesting a trapped soul. This sandcast “Upright Boat” has 6 faces or masks, 2 houses and a number of columns and steps on the surface of the sculpture. Signed “B. Vallien Kosta Boda 305880285…$32,000 - $36,000

11. Harvey Littleton, Rocker #7, 1986. 15 x 18 x 3.75”. (From a private collection) The father of American Studio Glass, Harvey Littleton passed away in 2013. He was instrumental in the evolution of glass as an art material - worldwide. This sculpture is the classic rocker. The color of this hot sculpted sculpture is quite subtle giving it an understated elegance. Signed by the artist…$45,000 - $50,000

12. Melissa and Keith Bispo, Golden Flight, 2006. 30.5 x 7 x 7”. (Poole collection & comments) “The Bispos state that this piece is part of a series ‘inspired by spiritual transition and nature of the Monterey and Big Sur area where they live. There is intricate cold working on the piece and the neck of the vessel turns into the neck and tapered head of a bird.’ The work on this piece is remarkable. At the same time as one wonders at the amazing cold working it also somehow gives off an eerie message. We bid successfully at a Bay Area Glass Institute auction in 2007 where this work won a major award.” Signed by the artist…$1,500 - $2,000 12.

11.

13. Dan Dailey, L’Eau (Daum – Water). 23.5 x 13.5 x 6”. (From a private collection) Between 1978 and 2003 Dan Dailey produced seven editions of Pâte de Verre sculptures. Dailey is one of three Americans to have worked with Daum and has the longest standing relationship of any artist after 32 years of work with the company. Other artists who have worked with Daum include Salvador Dalí, Fernand Léger, Jean-Michel Folon and César. Created in 1995 and featured on Page 41, and again on Page 341 of the Abrams Dan Daily book, L’eau is the most stunning of the Daum Editions. Signed “Daum France 009/150”…$30,000 - $35,000

14. Ginny Ruffner, Hieroglyphics on LSD, circa 1989. 15.5 x 7 x 5”. (From a private collection) A superior example of a lampwork sculpture created before Ginny’s unfortunate accident. It combines her sense of whimsy, with impressive painting and lampwork techniques. Acquired from Habatat Galleries…$14,000 - $16,000

15. Hank Adams, Aviator, 1994. 44 x 15 x 13”. (Poole collection & comments) “We had enjoyed Hank’s work for some time for its creative ideas, humor and unique execution. We went to Heller Gallery in anticipation of a show they were to open the next day. The pieces weren’t there yet and we were getting anxious. We went back the next day, the pieces were there and installed and we knew instantly that we wanted Aviator, a piece hanging from the ceiling. A bonus was a hug from Hank.” Cast glass and copper…$14,000 - $18,000

16. Jenny Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles, Song in a Miner – Tapestry Series, 2007. 75 x 62 x 12”. (Poole collection & comments) “This masterwork is one of our favorite pieces. We were fortunate to start a treasured friendship with the talented women a few years earlier. We committed to the work before it was even finished and visited the artists to see it in progress. It was exhibited in Florida at Palm Beach 3 before being delivered to us. We then had the fun of installing the 72 pieces! Some while later Jenny and Sabrina were in our area to teach at the Bay Area Glass Institute. When they visited us for dinner the first thing they did was to adjust a number of pieces that we hadn’t hung properly. We got some great pictures of that!” Acquired from the Duane Reed Gallery, St Louis, MO…$38,000 - $50,000

17. Therman Statom, Aegean, 2004. 42.75 x 42.75 x 5.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “What can you say about a piece that shows so many artistic abilities in one work? I love the sections that show what an accomplished painter Therman is as well as the abstractions throughout. The various objects are curious, including a tiny painting (or photo) of some sort of workshop. The backdrop for that section is a page from the phone book (no one we know!). We looked for a long time before finding this piece which we believe is one of his best.” Acquired from the Traver Gallery, Seattle, WA…$18,000 - $22,000

18. Kazumi Ikemoto, Scene 0402, 2004. 16 x 16 x 16”. (Poole & comments) “This is probably the most imaginative piece we have collected. It seems like a fairy tale as you move around the piece. Kazumi’s artist statement is as follows: ‘In my work I use imaginary half-man, half-beast creatures in scenes vaguely reminiscent of something you have seen before. I depict a hazy world of chaotic memories where reality and fantasy intersect, where the past and the present co-exist.’ Alice Chappell of the former Chappell Gallery described his process ‘Kazumi creates his work by blowing layers of powdered glass enamel onto the surface of the vessel, one color at a time. Once the layer is on, his uses a subtractive method whereby he eliminates what he does not want. After firing he repeats this process several times.’” Signed by the artist…$8,000 - $10,000

19. Mark Peiser, Winter Dawn, 1988. 7 x 18 x 3”. (From a private collection) From Mark’s “Inner Space” cast series this sculpture captures the emotion of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. It is a particularly moody and mysterious work from this sought after series. Signed “Peiser 15412.88”…$16,000 - $20,000

20. Flora Mace, Untitled Vessel, 1977. 15 x 6.5 x 6.5”. (From a private collection) Before there was “Flora and Joey”, Flora Mace worked with Dale Chihuly making the glass rod designs on his signature cylinders. This vessel uses some of the same colors as Chihuly’s work during that era. This blown vessel is the largest piece of Flora that has been created in this technique. Signed by the artist…$12,000 - $14,000

21. Bertil Vallien, Janusz Head, circa 2000. 12 x 10 x 5”. (From a private collection) “Janus” is an ancient Roman god who has been associated with doorways, beginnings, and transitions. Bertil has depicted Janus with two-faces as he looks to the future and the past. The nickname for this series is “Axe Head” as these heads are sandcast, cold worked, polished and resemble an axe. The purpose of the shape is to access the glass’ refractive qualities allowing the viewer to see 2 heads from all angles. Signed “B. Vallien 7186031 Kosta Boda Unique”…$28,000 - $35,000

22. Miles Van Rensselaer, Hand, 2003. 10.25 x 6.5 x 14.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “This glass and bronze hand reaches out to you as it tries to hold water (or glass?). We thought it such a clever idea and wanted to display it where it would surprise a viewer-----just around a corner or behind a door. We thought better of it when we realized the piece would be at risk in such a location.” Acquired from the Heller Gallery, New York, NY. Signed by the artist…$3,500 - $5,000

23.Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen, Dog Jumping Through Hoop, circa 2000. 15 x 5 x 7.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “This entertaining piece was in the BAGI auction in 2003. We saw it at a preview and knew we wanted it but had to attend a family wedding the night of the auction. A friend (Marge Levy) offered to bid in our behalf and we won the piece. These hot sculpted poodles doing a balancing act including fire are so much fun. Anyone who knows poodles can appreciate how smart and funny they are.”...$1,200 - $1,800

24. David Reekie, Different Hats II, 2005. 16 x 10 x 9.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “In 2005 we had decided to try to purchase a cast piece by David Reekie. Since his work was to be shown at SOFA we lined up with the mob on the first evening and dashed in the door to be first at the gallery where they were. This charming work appealed to us immediately as it did to others just behind us. We had to decide in short order but it was pretty easy! We were fortunate to talk with both David and his lovely wife. She made a point of calling my attention to the particular care and skill which had gone in to the bases of the two pieces. Of course the humor apparent in the piece makes one wonder exactly what was that fellow saying?” Acquired from the Riley Galleries, Cleveland, OH. Signed “A105” & “A205”…$16,000 - $22,000

25. Daniel Clayman, Carune, 2002. 32.5 x 18.5 x 12”. (Poole collection & comments) “We saw this piece in Imago Gallery when we were touring with a group of contemporary art collectors. Everyone was awed by Daniel’s work and several of us wanted to acquire Carune. It was installed in our home on an alabaster fireplace wall and the lighting caused a remarkable shadow to appear beneath the piece. Of course Daniel had modeled it that way on purpose.” Cast glass. Signed by the artist. …$26,000 - $35,00025.

26. Steve Weinberg, Untitled Cube 881205, 1988. 8 x 8 x 8”. (From a private collection) This sculpture is Steven’s most sought after series. The architectural form and interior imagery uses the properties of glass as well as they can be used. Acquired from Habatat Galleries and Signed by the artist…$12,000 - $15,000

26.

29. John Lewis, Buttress Vessel, 1987. 17 x 13.5 x 10”. (Poole collection & comments) “We came upon this piece in a Florida gallery where we went to view the work of another artist. This one sat in a corner displaying all of its strength and symmetry and truly spoke to us. It is in two pieces, a bowl- like piece resting on a sturdy blue and copper patina base. John’s work is cast, thus the weight of the two pieces.” Acquired from the Heller Gallery in Palm Beach in 1994. Signed “Lewis 87-25”…$5,500 - $7,000

30. Yan Zoritchak, Untitled, 2002. 13.5 x 12.25 x 5”. (Poole collection & comments) “This is a wondrous piece and shows off different aspects from every side. We acquired this cast glass piece at a large show in Sweden on a trip with Habatat. A kindly fellow collector drew my attention to the work of this artist. I will always be grateful to her.”…$8,000 - $12,000

27. Irene Frolic, Memorial Series, 1993. 12.75 x 7 x 5”. (From a private collection) You cannot mistake an Ilene Frolic figurative sculpture. There is sensitivity, and a moodiness that perhaps was inspired by her background as a holocaust survivor. This sculpture is an exquisite example of her early cast work and seems to convey a wide range of human emotions. Signed by the artist…$4,000 - $5,000

28. Sonja Blomdahl, Untitled Vessel, 1989. 8 x 16 x 16”. (Poole collection & comments) “This was one of the first glass pieces we purchased. We were fascinated by the way a warm blue bubble had been mated with a pale pink bubble and the two wrapped a vivid coral interior. We later had the privilege of watching her create her pieces in the studio.” Blown glass. Acquired from Imago Gallery, Palm Springs, CA, during an art tour in March of 1993. Signed “Sonja B489”…$2,000 - $3,000

27. 28. 29. 30.

31. Laura De Santillana, Purple Flag, 2004. 14 x 14 x 4.5”.

(Poole collection & comments) “We were long attracted to Laura’s beautifully subtle pieces. They are blown and then compressed to show the qualities of glass similar to painting and sculpture - color, luminosity and fluid form. This piece hints at a figurative shape within. It is simply elegant. We had been looking for a work of Laura’s for some time. Finally found this piece with Kate Elliott of Elliott Gallery in Seattle, WA in 2004.” Signed by the artist…$12,000 - $16,000

32. Dante Marioni, 12 Objects, 2002. 27 x 18.75 x 5.25”. (From a private collection) “Marioni has a love and a profound respect for the glassblowing process. For him, making objects is about ‘the art of glassblowing rather than the blowing of glass art,’ and he is careful to preserve the traditions of the craft as they were passed on to him. His focus and primary interest is the working of glass, and his elegant vessels are the radiant record of his ongoing relationship with the material.” - Tina Oldknow, art historian specializing in historic and contemporary glass. Signed by the artist…$14,000 - $18,000

33. Matt Eskuche, There Goes the Neighborhood, 2009. 18 x 50 x 5”. (Poole collection & comments) “We spotted this flameworked and steel work at Habatat Galleries in Chicago. It had just gone on display shortly before we saw it. No question we had to have it. Its whimsical style and brilliant execution captured us completely. We have to tell people that the clothes pins are metal and the vessels put out to dry are anchored by pegs into holes in the glass pieces. Great fun.”…$2,500 - $3,000

33.

32.

31.

34. David Bennett, Horse Head, circa 2000. 19 x 30 x 12”. (From a private collection) David’s blown glass work is some of his most sought after and hard to find sculpture. This single horse head conveys emotion and movement. Blown glass & steel base. Signed by the artist…$18,000 - $22,000

34.

35. Dan Dailey, Conversation Series, 1983. 11 x 23.75 x 4.75”. (From a private collection) Vitrolite is a type of sheet glass that is no longer produced. The “Conversation Series” is a very limited series with only a few created. They are among the very first vitrolite figurative works that Dan Dailey created. In 1983, he started with single heads followed by busts and then animals. Very few have seen a piece from this series which makes this sculpture for Dan Dailey collectors a rare opportunity. Vitrolite, plate glass, nickel plated steel. Signed by the artist…$30,000 - $35,000

35.

36. Erwin Eisch, Spring Time Buddha, 1997. 18.5 x 8 x 8.5”. (From a private collection) German born artist Erwin Eisch has been known for his social commentary and his important influence on studio glass in America. He was perhaps the first artist to use glass to explore ideas and issues. This is an exceptionally beautiful example of his blown work based on the rites of spring. Acquired from Habatat Galleries (MI). Signed by the artist…$10,000 - $15,000

37. Doug Anderson, Untitled, 1983. 8.5 x 5 x 5”. (From a private collection) Doug Anderson was one of the first American artists to work in the Pate de Verre technique. His work withstood the test of time and was inspirational to a generation of American artists. Signed “Anderson 070783”…$2,500 - $3,500

38. Randy Walker, Maple, 2006. 19.5 x 14 x 14.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “This blown and hot sculpted maple leaf which was our first Walker piece was displayed in our dining room. The back of the leaf is even more interesting than the front, again appealing to me for its textures and color. I truly believe Randy is one of the very best artists working in glass”. Acquired during the 2003 Pilchuck Glass School auction…$4,500 - $6,500

39. Livio Seguso, Consistenze Concrete, 2007. 9.5 x 7 x 3.25”. (Poole collection & comments) “This piece is made of hot sculpted glass and wood was likely a maquette for a larger sculpture piece Livio created. Still, it is very intriguing with its architectural and geometric qualities. We purchased it when we were in Venice with Habatat”. Signed by the artist…$7,000 - $9,000

40. Tobias Mohl, Nest, 2007. 25 x 25 x 9”. (Poole collection & comments) “We admired the work of Tobias Mohl for quite a while at SOFA and elsewhere. Finally we contacted Galleri Gronlund in Denmark and were able to commission one of his lighted boxes housing these elegant “nests”. Each one is roughly the same shape but of distinctly different pattern from the others. The piece demonstrates Tobias’ skill as a glass blower but also causes one to wonder at the elegance of each.” Signed by the artist…$13,000 - $16,000

41. José Chardiet, Two Part, 2000. 31 x 12 x 4”. (From a private collection) José Chardiet has been very good for a long time. This Pate de Verre sculpture demonstrates his interest in primitive and tribal art. The objects appear ritualistic but the viewer must help complete the story…10,000 - $12,000

42. Ivana Sramkova, Red Figure, 2000. 84 x 19.5 x 8”. Czech artist Ivana Sramkova cast this 3 part sculpture in the red so coveted in Czech glass. Its monumental presence is a triumph to her engineering, aesthetics and sense of composition. From the collection of Jean Claude Chapelotte. Signed by the artist…$32,000 - $36,00042.

44. Bertil Vallien, Untitled (Masks), 1992. 20 x 15 x 5.5”. (Poole collection & comments) “I came across these pieces in the back room of a Chicago gallery. Great finds in the back rooms! These sandcast masks are wonderfully textured - a quality I especially like. On the back side you see embedded mystical objects but when installed you can’t see them, only know they are there. The masks were attached to brackets so it seemed Bertil intended then to hide those secrets.” Acquired from Betsy Rosenfield Gallery, Chicago, IL. Signed by the artist…$8,000 - $12,000

43. Toots Zynsky, Bentornato, 2001. 9.25 x 15 x 9.75”. (From a private collection) One of the most sought after artists working in glass, Toots Zynsky developed the Filet du Verre technique which she has used to create three dimensional abstract paintings. Bentornato was part of a Habatat Galleries one person exhibition that featured this piece on the cover of the exhibition catalogue. Signed by the artist…$9,500 – $11,500

44.

43.

46. Joel Philip Myers, Untitled, 1984. 7.75 x 25.5 x 3.25”. (From a private collection) Joel Philip Myers is one of the legends of studio glass in America. This form developed from the small cylindrical black vessels called “the contiguous fragment series”, a shape that allowed him to create wonderful surface paintings. This blown and hot sculpted piece combines his surface decoration with a whimsical form. Signed by the artist…$12,000 - $15,000

47. Nicolas Africano, Reclining Figure. Pictured on cover, description on inside cover.

45. Ann Wolff, Faces of Smallland 1, 2001. 22.5 x 20.25 x 7”. (From a private collection) This sculpture reveals Ann Wolff to be a significant artist. The technique is simple; layers of plate glass with fired enamels and laminated color glass. The images are based on the people of Smallland Sweden - open and honest, almost spiritual. Acquired from Habatat Galleries (MI). Signed by the artist…$10,000 - $15,000
