Masterworks: A Contemporary Glass Auction

MASTERWORKS: A Contemporary Glass Auction An auction of contemporary glass works from the 1970s and beyond. Thursday April 24th, 2014 Preview 6:30-8:00 pm EST? Auction 8:00-9:30 pm EST. This auction is primarily based on the collection of California collectors Barbara and Warren Poole. Many of you know the Pooles from their active role in the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG), or from visiting their exquisite collection. On my visit to their home several years ago, I was struck by how they articulated the thought and reasoning behind each piece that was on display. I loved how they combined this with an emotion and passion that made each work come alive. I hope that we can achieve this connection in our catalogue and auction. I thank Warren and Barbara for trusting Habatat Galleries with their precious objects. We have also included other significant works to make the auction the best and most exciting event possible!
