30th Anniversary

We are proud to announce that June, 2008 marks the 30th Anniversary of Holsten Galleries. In 1978 we opened in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, as a multi-media gallery featuring mainly glass, ceramics and art jewelry. From 1980-1991 we operated a second gallery as well in Palm Beach, Florida. It was in the early 1980's that we had our first one-person shows of such glass artists as Dale Chihuly, Harvey K. Littleton and William Morris. By the mid- 1980's both galleries were speciailizing in contemporary glass art. It has been a wonderful 30 years, full of much growth, many surprises and wonderful relationships with both our artists and collectors. Many thanks to all of you who have become our friends and clients during those years. We look forward to many more years together!

Quote of the Month
"Art teaches nothing except the significance of life." - Henry Miller

 

Artist of the Month:
William LeQuier

LeQuier received his Bachelor of Science from Southern Connecticut State College in 1975 and subsequently became an instructor there, later accepting a position at Penland School. His work is can be found in many collections, including that of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, and the American Glass Museum of Millville, New Jersey. His work has been shown across the U.S. in more than thirty exhibitions. "My work," he writes, "is inspired by the drama of everyday events in the natural world where weather and time are catalysts for change."

 

Piece of the Month:
"Slipstream" by William LeQuier

Kenn Holsten:
"Slipstream" by William LeQuier is a truly unique and beautful work. The transparency and intricacy of this work set it apart from other works of contemporary glass art. The delicate interweaving of strands of glass create a feeling of organic, almost mystical complexity. One marvels at the dexterity and creative depth of the artist.

Jim Schantz:
"Slipstream" is a remarkable example of William LeQuier's work. It is amazing how LeQuier can transform plate glass material into flowing undulations of forms. The work seems to almost float in air and defy gravity. We feel very fortunate to be representing this accomplished artist again in the gallery.

Mary Childs:
With "Slipstream", Bill LeQuier does the impossible:he captures the essence of a moment of movement and air in glass. When looking at this sculpture, one can almost feel the breeze on one's face as the clouds race overhead.

Stanley Wooley:
The wonderfully lyrical form of Le Quier's " Slipstream" fills me with the rhythmical flow of wind and water.
