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.

These works, originally created for ecclesiastical settings, reveal both devotional intent and the bold visual language of modern sacred art. Large Signed Stained Glass Panel “Annunciation” – Fray Arnaldo Marcolino Maas, 1950 The monumental stained glass panel Annunciation stands as the most architecturally ambitious of the group. 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. Associated with the Fluxus movement but never confined by it, he worked across printmaking, sculpture, artist’s books, drawing, collage, and even edible materials like chocolate and cheese. Roth’s art is at once irreverent and deeply intellectual. He embraced process, decay, repetition, and chance, often allowing materials to deteriorate as part of the work itself. 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
