Large Danny Perkins (American, b. 1955) "Flora" Art Glass Vase. Measures - 32 1/2" high x 14" wide x 11" deep. Appraisal - $8,400. Earning acclaim for his methodical yet emotive technique, Danny Perkins has been a leading glass artist for over twenty years. His fluid and towering forms require an intricate production process, which involves blowing glass into a wooden mold, cutting the glass, reassembling the pieces, and then sandblasting the final vessel to a matte finish before airbrushing color onto the surface. Though the early phases of construction mandate a group effort to accommodate the sheer scope of Perkins' ambition, the artist finds inspiration in the Abstract Expressionist notions of interiority and self-referential aesthetics; in Perkins' words, "The colors with the forms I use are emotion, they are love, sex, god, pain and joy. I have developed relationships with the colors over the years, so when I paint the shards the colors have faces that I know intimately."
