Limited Edition Glass Multiple by Jean-Michel Othoniel
Artspace in partnership with the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) is pleased to present a new limited edition mirrored glass multiple by internationally acclaimed artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. Proceeds from the sale of Untitled, 2024 will directly benefit the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Limited Edition Glass Multiple
Known for his evocative glass sculptures, Othoniel has employed his signature medium to create a variable edition of 20 mirrored glass bricks. Each edition comprises two self-standing bricks in three distinct color pairings: green and violet, green and gold, and violet and gold.
Othoniel explores themes of transformation and resilience through his work, often utilizing modular forms and reflective materials to investigate shifting perspectives and the dimensionality of emotion. In his new edition, lustrous mirrored glass and rich hues imbue a familiar geometric form with ephemerality, playing with light to create fluid contours and colorscapes.
New Orleans Museum of Art
New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), the city’s oldest fine arts institution, opened on December 16, 1911, with only nine works of art. Today, the museum hosts an impressive permanent collection of nearly 50,000 artworks. The collection, noted for its extraordinary strengths in French and American art, photography, glass, and African and Japanese works, continues to expand and grow, making NOMA one of the top art museums in the South.
The twelve-acre Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at NOMA is one of the most important sculpture installations in the United States, with over 90 sculptures situated on a beautifully landscaped site among meandering footpaths, reflecting lagoons, Spanish moss-laden 200-year-old live oaks, mature pines, magnolias, camellias, and pedestrian bridges.
