Artist Note: Dennis Abbe, born in 1941, was a celebrated interior designer and renowned glass artist who consistently sought an integration of art, design, and craftsmanship.

He studied at the Art Institute in Chicago and the Art Center School in Los Angeles. A protégé of Erté, Abbe chose and mastered glass etching early, and throughout his short career created some of its finest examples—museum quality carved glass panels, windows, and freestanding screens executed in the Art Deco style throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
A ceremony was held at Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum after Abbe passed away in 1995. In his short but remarkable life he was presented with the Key to Kyoto, Japan, appeared on the BBC, and was featured in numerous publications including the New York Times and Italian Casa Vogue. His works are held in dozens of prominent private collections around the world.
