Free Essence 32 (aka ‘The Wave’) |
This exquisite example of contemporary
glassware by Japanese artist Niyoko Ikuta was displayed at the recent
Collect Art Fair. The work was formed by many layers of sheet glass
adhered together to make the form of a wave.
The cost of the piece was £8,075 inc transport and VAT, which The Friends agreed to fund in full.
This stunning sculpture made of slip-cast
porcelain was made by the Japanese ceramicist Nagae Shigemaze. At the
same Collect Fair referred to above, The Art Fund agreed to gift this
work to Bristol’s Collection. The Friends were not asked to contribute
funds towards this acquisition.
