Superb optical glass sculpture by VACLAV CIGLER, the founder of this minimalist sculpture. Dimensions 9.5 x 8.5 x 3.5 cm.
Glass in architecture
In 1965 Václav Cígler, in the absence of an independent glass training course, founded the 'Glass in Architecture' department at the Art Academy in Bratislava. Under Václav Cígler's inspiring leadership, a new generation of artists is quickly being trained here who understand the medium of glass as minimalist sculpture. In this way, the abstract-geometric optical glass art that is so typical of contemporary glass from this region is slowly but surely developing. A characteristic of optical glass is that it offers a different perspective on the world. By means of the effect of light, the glass objects constantly change their appearance. Sometimes there are magnifying, then diminutive or discolouring effects, while reflective properties can also exert their influence. These characteristics are enhanced by the application of a range of geometric shapes in the work of Václav Cígler and his school.
