Jon Kuhn American; b. 1949 Orange Bud Vase, 1983 blown, cut and polished glass Small studio glass vase by Jon Kuhn. The cut and polished windows in this small vessel reveal fascinating, twisted cane patterning on the inside of the vessel, an early demonstration of the artist's ongoing interest in the interior world, both of glass and of human consciousness. Etched signature: "Jon Kuhn 1983." Kuhn is best known for his laminated glass work, which is cut, polished, and fused into a myriad of shapes from the inside out. The result is a sculpture that takes in surrounding light, then reflects and refracts it back into space, creating what the artist calls "architectural models for an inner world." About Jon Kuhn: With works featured in over 40 international museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Vatican Museums, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the White House Permanent Collection, the National Museum of American Art and hundreds of private residences and public spaces, Jon Kuhn is regarded as one of the premier glass artists of his generation. 10" H
