- Lot Description
Wes Hunting (American, 20th to 21st century). "Colorfield" blown glass vessel. Signed "WS Hunting" on exterior near base. A wonderful "colorfield" glass bowl free-blown by American artist Wes Hunting to present large, millefiori canes and various freeform shapes over a landscape-like ground. The complex vessel displays a bulbous body with a broad, inward-curving mouth, all sitting upon a petite, discoid base. Wes Hunting never had an early interest in glass in particular, but always had an interest in creativity. He was introduced to glassmaking in 1976, and started Hunting Glass Studio in 1982. He currently works with his son, Wesley, and they are always striving to take their work to a new level of intensity. Size: 7.75" Diameter x 6.1" H (19.7 cm x 15.5 cm)
Wes Hunting creates vessels of this type as part of his "Colorfield" series. On his website, the artist describes this series as the following: "This series began in 1984 and has slowly evolved into the present work today. I came up with the title 'Color Field' to refer to the intense colors and patterns which are 'drawn' onto the glass surface at temperatures exceeding 1,600 degrees. The forms have changed over the years - organic, sharp, angular, loose, square, tight - but they have always been simple, so that they never detract form the increasing complexities of the surface decoration. I like to refer to the millefiori decoration on my vessels as 'drawings', since I make all my works the same size as a sheet of drawing paper. Sometimes the drawings echo the contours of the vessel and sometimes they establish a contradictory rhythm. In either instance, it is important to me that the form structure and the drawing structure be integrated. That they not appear to be two independent entities."
Provenance: private Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired 1964 to mid-1990s
