50th Anniversary Visiting Artists
Thaddeus Wolfe creates sculptures that belong to a series he refers to as Assemblage. The structures are made from glass molding where the mold can only be used once, so every time, Wolfe is creating an entirely new creation. Often incorporating brass and bronze, Wolfe’s glass sculptures are multi-texture structures that appear like an organic Brutalist architecture. Wolfe’s Assemblage Lamp and Assemblage, which follows his Assemblage series, are on display here.
