Richard Posner (American, 1948-2011), Two Glass Sculptures

1982, found, cast and adhered glass, including a fish / vase sculpture (4 x 13 x 4 in.); and a torso on pedestal (8 x 4.5 in. diameter), both signed, accompanied by a typed and signed postcard from Richard Posner to the consignor.

From the Collection of Lynn Geis, Happy Valley, Oregon

Public artist, architectural glass designer, ceramicist, and environmental garden designer, Posner's work has been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in France, and is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Victoria and Albert Museum, and The Corning Museum of Glass. He received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Jackson Pollack-Lee Krasner Foundation, and four Fulbright fellowships.

Both sculptures have been re-glued at the seams; the fish's top fin with crack and repair.
