Art Glass Black Bench, Stained Glass and Cast Iron Sculpture by Drew Smith

Art Glass Black Bench, Stained Glass and Cast Iron Sculpture by Drew Smith

Located in Long Island City, NY

As a native of Idaho Falls, Drew was inspired since early childhood by the beauty of the surrounding Intermountain Region. The Tetons, Snake River, and a few local wetlands became magical destinations with sounds of wind in the reeds or migrating waterfowl that continue to echo through Drew’s professional work. This cast iron bench has custom stained glass melted into the negative spaces, forming pseudo cushions to rest on. The back of the structure is molded to resemble a playful family of robots, holding each other and posed in a line as if taking a family photo. Art Glass Black...

By George Rodrigue

Located in Minneapolis, MN

Artist: George Rodrigue Title: Blue Dog with Cypress Trees Medium: Cameo Glass Edition: 24/35 Size: 5" × 9" Year: 1994 Inscription: Artist's cypher, edition, and date incised on the underside - 903056 / 1994 "Blue Dog with Cypress Trees" (1994) is a limited-edition cameo glass sculpture by American artist George Rodrigue, notable for its rarity and exceptional craftsmanship. This edition, number 24 of 35, is inscribed with the artist's cypher, edition, and date on the underside, confirming provenance and authenticity. Measuring 5 × 9 inches in diameter, the sculpture presents Rodrigue's iconic Blue Dog motif in a three-dimensional medium, a rare and highly collectible expression of his celebrated imagery. The Blue Dog, first introduced in the early 1990s, has become a hallmark of Rodrigue's artistic legacy, symbolizing identity, heritage, and emotion. In this sculpture, the motif is paired with cypress trees, merging symbolic imagery with the unique qualities of cameo glass. The interplay of transparency, layered color, and form gives the piece dynamic depth, showcasing Rodrigue's innovative approach to translating his signature motifs into sculptural works. Rodrigue's Blue Dog sculptures...

3-part painting construction by Black African American artist, w/ found objects

By Richard J. Watson

Located in Bryn Mawr, PA

It includes several historic photograph of figures as well as many scenes from Black African American cultural history. Each piece measures 23" x 7.75" x 2.5", and they can be hung close together or far apart, depending on the buyer's preference. All pieces are wired with the appropriate hanging hardware and are ready to install, no additional framing needed. PROVENANCE: Exhibited in "Portals + Revelations: Richard J. Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022. "Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson Richard J. Watson is an icon in the Philadelphia art world. Much of his work relates to his experiences as a Black African American man. He is a graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1968), has taught at his alma mater, and has served in the Exhibitions Department at the African American Museum in Philadelphia since the 1980s. He has been exhibiting his work for decades, and has an extensive bibliography. His work is held in the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Uniworld Corporation; Sony; the Federal Reserve Bank; the City of Philadelphia; Sprint; the Church of the Advocate; the poet Dr. Sonia Sanchez; and the Woodmere Museum...
