GLASGALERIE HITTFELD & GLASGALERIE STÖLTING
Through the Years – Personal Glimpses
For over 35 years, the Stölting family has been a driving force in contemporary glass art. What began with Eliška Stölting’s visionary gallery now continues in Hamburg’s HafenCity under the direction of her son Tom Stölting. Glasgalerie Stölting connects generations, cultures, and collectors through a shared passion for glass. The gallery’s program reflects a vibrant dialogue between generations, where established masters and emerging voices shape the future of glass.
