Robert and Jacqueline Kaufman were passionate collectors of many mediums of art, but their fascination with art glass was unmatched. Over their 68 years of marriage, they sought out the most unique pieces they found, the ones to which they felt a personal connection. They were drawn to the way light interacted with the glass and installed custom lighting for their space to enhance their beauty and create a sense of movement and life within each piece. The Kaufmans selected each piece with a deep appreciation and respect for the diverse talents, techniques, and expressions of the artists whose creativity and craftsmanship captivated them. They were very supportive of artistry found within their community and frequented the local Habatat Galleries, where they acquired many pieces over the years. In their memory, the daughters of O. Robert and Jacqueline Kaufman hope that the love their parents had for the genre will inspire others to discover and support the incredible artistry found within their own communities.

Large Stephen Rolfe Powell Teasers Vase
Est: $10,000 - $20,000
Stephen "Steve" Rolfe Powell (American, 1951-2019). Massive hand-blown multi-colored murrine glass vase of double-lobed form, 2001. From the "Teasers" series, whose forms often resembled buttocks. Etched "2T," signed, and dated along the base. Provenance: Private Minnesota Collection. Lot Essay: In the 1980s, Powell established himself as a prominent figure in the contemporary glass art scene, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of sources, including nature, music, and the human form. His signature style was characterized by bold, gestural forms, richly layered colors, and intricate patterns, reflecting his improvisational approach to glassblowing. Powell's innovative techniques pushed the boundaries of traditional glassmaking, earning him widespread acclaim and recognition. One of Powell's most notable achievements was his development of the "color overlay" technique, which allowed him to create intricate patterns and textures by layering different colors of molten glass. This technique became a hallmark of his work, imbuing his sculptures with a sense of depth, movement, and luminosity. Powell's art transcended the confines of the studio, with his monumental glass sculptures adorning public spaces, museums, and private collections around the world. Beyond his artistic endeavors, Powell was also a dedicated educator and mentor, sharing his knowledge and passion for glassblowing with countless students and aspiring artists. His generosity and commitment to fostering the next generation of talent left an indelible mark on the glass art community.
