The Scherer Collection of Glass Art
Glass is an amazing and versatile material. It has been with us for thousands of years, and yet shows no signs of being exhausted in its possibilities or its surprises. For more than 10 years, Marty and Tess Scherer of Sedona, Ariz., have gathered glass objects in many styles, created by artists using various glass-working techniques.
The Scherers are “intrigued with the translucency and brilliance of glass, and the seemingly endless possibilities of artistic expression. Glass can be worked hot or cold. It can be blown, slumped or cast, and it can be carved. We also are captivated by the people working with glass that create these magnificent works. It is not just the finished work, but the artist that is important to us.”
Artists: Michael Bokrosh, Michael Cain, Afro Celotto, Stephan J. Cox, Bandhu Scott Dunham, Jon Kuhn, Carole Perry, George Ponzini, Stephen Rolfe Powell, Christopher Ries, Jean and Kevin Rogers, Toland Peter Sand, Charles Paul Savoie, Robert Stephan, and Randy Strong.
