Early and extremely rare example of Architectural Glass Design (Studio X Napa) dichroic glass panel circa 1990.  Glass is cased in a stainless-steel frame measuring 12.5 x 18.5” and stands vertically (or horizontally) when seated in it’s solid aluminum base.  The glass itself is double-pane shatter proof glass with an etched, vertical pattern on one side that mimics water or shifting sand, the opposite side is etched with horizontal bars bordered with jagged edges; when combined, the design creates a very dramatic visual effect as light passes from the rear of the glass.  The dichroic glass element is encased within the two panes of glass and shifts from yellow and gold to a kaleidoscope of blues and greens depending on the light and will reflect any colors around it as well.  Very rare in that this is a manageable piece of glass that can be set on a desk, bookcase, or table; Mr. Huether’s commissioned glass panels are typically 6’ minimum (for a door as an example) up to thousands of square feet; his mind-blowing sculptures are equally robust.  If you’re familiar with his work, you’ve probably hit “buy it now” already, if not I suggest you look into his portfolio of work; you will never look at glass the same way again.  His work is purposeful and borders on alchemy.  Condition is fine.  This is a vintage, one-of-a-kind mock-up and has passed through many hands and traveled some miles to reach me in south Florida. Some light surface scratches to the stainless frame, glass is perfect.
