JAMES HUBBELL: STAINED GLASS SCULPTURE
Value: $3,800

“My world is the world of objects, of inner musings made real…I would like to see the reintroduction of beauty into the modern world with the understanding that it, like love, has the power to change things.”—James Hubbell

Since the early 1960s James Hubbell has produced thousands of works of art including hand-crafted windows, doors, gates, and sculpture in almost every material, such as wood, stone, metal, and glass. His art has been embodied in homes, schools, gardens, nature centers, monasteries, museums, and peace parks around the world. Widely known for his organic style art and architecture, Hubbell aims to inspire those who wish to connect through beauty. This incredible auction lot is an opportunity for you to live with a one-of-a-kind Hubbell stained glass sculpture in your own home or dwelling.

A TASTE OF ART: PRIVATE ART WORKSHOP
