Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for the talented glass artists that I am fortunate to represent and for you, the glass collectors with whom I’ve had the privilege to work. I’m grateful for the 46 years that Holsten Galleries has been in business (Yes, since 1978!), and for all of the wonderful artists and collectors who have become my friends. I wish you and your families a very happy holiday and look forward to hearing from you. |

This month, I am proud to announce a major exhibition and new book by my long time artist and good friend, Nancy Callan. Nancy’s solo exhibition, Forces at Play, opened in October at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma and will be on view until September 1, 2025. A beautiful hardcover book by the same title is available online from the Museum. Here is a link to an in depth interview with Nancy. Congratulations, Nancy! These three available pieces represent three of Nancy’s best known series, the Tops, Clouds and Droplets. Many of the works featured in her exhibition are also available for sale.

Martin Rosol One of my favorite pieces by Massachusetts artist Martin Rosol is this piece called "Regatta." The form subtly suggests the joy and freedom of sailing on a carefree day.

Lino Tagliapietra Everything about this piece by the Maestro is masterful! The form is somewhat unique in Lino’s repertoire. The subtle interplay of greens and golds are punctuated by that spot of bright red and the overlapping canework is intricate and complex. Bravo, Lino!

Jon Kuhn North Carolina glass artist Jon Kuhn is probably best known for his clear cubes with delicate centers of dramatic color and reflection. Some of these works can be quite large but, from time to time, Jon creates a smaller, more intimate piece. This cube, which Jon finished only last week, packs a lot of drama for a piece that is only 6.25" on edge and a bit over 9" high including the metal swivel base.

Toland Sand The glass sculptures of New Hampshire artist Toland Sand are all about light, color and reflection. This piece entitled Neodymium Oloid is no exception. As you can see from the images the piece can look radically different when seen from distinct angles.
