For centuries, stained glass has served as one of the most powerful storytelling mediums in sacred art. Through luminous color, symbolic imagery, and architectural scale, artists have used glass to transform light into narrative.

Measuring approximately 75 inches in height, the composition depicts the angel Gabriel announcing the birth of Christ to the Virgin Mary. Rich c...Read More

Few postwar artists blurred the boundaries between media as radically, or as playfully, as Dieter Roth. Born in 1930 in Hanover, Germany, and later working between Iceland, Switzerland, and Germany, Roth built a practice that defied categorization.

Yet alongside his more conceptual and sculptural experiments, works on paper remained central to his practice. These intimate compositions, layered, gestural, and richly textured, offer collectors a direct encounter with his restless, ...Read More
