Lot description
From the 'Drops' series, glass drops on bent and etched glass on bruised mild steel. This piece was bequeathed from a private foundation to Ringling School of Art & Design. Size: 68 x 32 in. Kathleen Mulcahy has been creating art with glass for over 50 years. An artist and professor, Mulcahy has won numerous awards for her work, which is included in the finest public and private collections in the country. These include the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh and the Renwick Galleries of the Smithsonian Museum of Art in Washington DC among many others. The "Drops" series is her most sublime body of work. This particular piece is visually striking, with clear pulled glass weighted in large droplets, lined up and ending at different heights within the plane. The metaphor of reflection also comes into play, with the bruised steel shimmering behind these active shapes. One is left with a sense of clarity and calm waiting for another drop to fall.
