For more than three decades, spanning into the second generation, we have been dedicated to the captivating world of contemporary glass sculpture and the presentation of works by Czech glass artists. In the 1950s, these artists were the pioneers who first recognized the sculptural potential of glass and ushered in the development of modern glass sculpture. Today, they unquestionably rank among the world’s leading artists in this unique art form, owing their success to their exceptional training and craftsmanship. Our exhibitions serve not only as sources of inspiration but also as venues for exchange between collectors and artists. We look forward to sharing many more years with you, presenting fascinating works of art.
