A Vision of the future

March 4th, 2006

In Innerlight, the vitality of a vision that transcends time immortal a vision of the future is celebrated in a monumental sculpture that contrasts the solidity of earthly elements with a brilliant play of light. The sculpture is symbolic of Steuben’s melding of its past and present in formulating an inspired vision for its future, and of the continuous creation of the Steuben material itself. It is the embodiment of the process through which, out of the fire, from base ingredients, is born a material so pure, it captures the very essence of light.
Innerlight, with its 16 separate glass forms emerging from a double-sided bronze form, stands an imposing 7′9″ tall and measures 2′3″ X 6′6″ at the base. The entire sculpture weighs approximately 1500 pounds. The glass forms, each of which has five highly-polished edges and one rough textured surface, were individually hand cast, cut and finished with great precision to meld seamlessly into the side edges of the bronze form. It took Steuben’s master craftspeople almost a year to create this landmark work.
Price: $260,000
