Carl Radke Collection

Carl Radke began showing his glass work in galleries in 1975 as part of a
group of artists determined to revive the American art glass movement
that was made popular by Louis Tiffany in the late 19th century. By the
mid 1920s the technique was almost lost. Radke maintains the practice
of working with luster glass, a medium containing silver that requires
honed craftsmanship to successfully navigate the particularly volatile
blowing process compared to standard art glass—this work cannot be
mass produced. Each piece is signed and dated by the artist to ensure
authenticity and retain value.
