Interpretive Notes

Web Text

Vaclav Cigler uses glass to create space. Throughout his career, he has investigated and artistically defined the mechanics of transparency and reflection. His sculptures are not meant to be displayed in neutral contexts, but to absorb, reflect, and interpret the world around them. They are designed to come alive in interaction with their environments.

Physical DescriptionSculpture, "Disk"; colorless optical lead glass; cast, ground, polished.
