266. A Fine Large Glass Sculpture by Jose Chardiet (Cuban, born 1956)

"Summer Vase".
The baluster form tapering toward the foot, the bright red glass walls overlaid with mottled emerald green, red, and white, with a chartreuse concentric spiral design around the form, the vase shoulder modeled with applied cicada and other insect-like forms, each incorporating bits of metal as antennae, legs, and body parts, alternating between elongated zig-zags cut back to the bright red ground. 19 1/4" h.

Provenance: Marx Saunders Gallery, Ltd., Chicago.

An important Ohio collection.

The brilliant reds, pinks and turquoises in Jose Chardiet's Summer Vase of 1993 evoke the heat of the season, while the motifs appearing in raised relief suggest its sounds. Cicadas occur where the vase is at its broadest. Emanating from the body of the insect are arching red bands which describe its drilling "buzz."

Jose Chardiet was born in Havana in 1956, and immigrated to the United States at the age of four. He earned his MFA at Kent State University in 1983, and currently teaches at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His rapidly growing reputation as one of the foremost contemporary glass artists is underscored by his representation in numerous international collections, both public and private. His works are included in the permanent collections at the Yokohama Museum of Art, the Corning Glass Museum, and the Musee des Arts Decoratif in Lausanne.
