May Basket Art Glass

Description

This May Basket Art Glass is based on a Wright design for Liberty Magazine in 1926-27. Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to design a series of cover designs. However, the editors thought the designs to be too radical and they were never used. The May Basket is an abstract geometric motif representing flowers, fruits, and streams of ribbons in celebration of Spring. On this glass panel, enamel colors are individually applied to a single sheet of glass which is then kiln fired to permanently fuse the enamels to the glass. The glass panel is then framed with a metal came and includes hanging chain and wood stand for optional desk or table display.
