Steven Lundberg and Justin Lundberg - Rare Turquoise Tsunami Hand Blown Vase, Signed and Dated

This unique fluted, ruffled vase exudes the power and the anger of the giant Tsunami wave itself. The subtle cream caps rise upon a sea of turquoise and green hues, offset by the stunning sapphire base, and gold to turquoise inner ruffle. This piece is especially poignant, because it was created by Steven and his son Justin as a collaborative effort in the last few months before Steven could no longer create his masterpieces, due to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). It is signed "J/S Lundberg Glass Art 2003" and has the original Gold Label "Steven Lundberg Glass Art." Steven Lundberg's artistry is featured in many museums. He has worldwide acclaim. His son Justin had been working with Steven for nearly a decade, and has now taken over the creative works of Lundberg Glass Art. This marvelous piece is in Excellent Condition. It stands 7 inches tall, and 4.12 inches across. Steven Lundberg's creations are vigorously sought after, and have appreciated considerably and continuously. Glass artist extraodinaire, Steven Lundberg, passed away on April 12, 2008 at the age of 54. As many of you know, he had been suffering from ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, for a number of years. Our condolences go out to his family. Steve's work is on display in a number of permanent collections including The Smithsonian Institute, the White House, The Corning Museum of Glass, the Philadelphia Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of American Glass, and the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum, to name a few. Steven Lundberg Glass Art is exhibited in top galleries and catalogs throughout the world. Steve has lectured and demonstrated from New Jersey to Tokyo and has been privileged to collaborate with many distinguished glass artists, including Rick Ayotte, Bob Banford, Randall Grubb, Barry Sautner and Victor Trabucco. In 1972, his creative desires led him to become an apprentic glass blower to his older brother James. James Lundberg, with fellow artists like Stuart Abelman were instrumental in the early development of the studio glass movement. In 1973, Steven and James formed Lundberg Studios in Davenport California. Steven's skills continued to grow, and he has since developed into a master glassmaker. His talents include shaping, decorating, casting, lampworking, torchworking, and lapidary. His inventive skills as a fabricator of technical equipment, has gained him recognition in the world of glass-blowing. His ability to create complex glass formulas has enabled him to design glass art that is envied by his peers. With the untimely passing of his brother James in 1992, Steve continued his work at Lundberg Studios. In January 1997, along with his wife Ola and son Justin, Steve created his own studio in California. In 2002 in the process of moving to his state of the art studio in Oregon, Steven was diagnosed with ALS. In this talented Lundberg family, Steven's son Justin has inherited the skills of a master glass blower. He is continuing the family tradition creating his own series of art glass. The new Oregon studio has been completed under the influence of Steven and new and exciting works of art are taking form. REFERENCES: Modern Masters by L. H. Selman, Ltd, 2006.
