You are warmly invited to join Trish Clark Gallery and Galia Amsel for her opening on Tuesday 26 November 2024.
Trish Clark are delighted to present a suite of new cast glass works by Galia Amsel, her first large exhibition in many years. Widely acclaimed for her masterful control over glass, Amsel works in dialogue with her natural environment to imbue her sculptures with dynamic energy, and these new pieces bring verve at scale, both very large and small, exploring the limits of her chosen medium. A graduate of the Royal College of Arts in London, her work is held in major museum collections including Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Corning Museum of Glass, USA; Crafts Council Collection, London; Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, Denmark; Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa; Ulster Museum, Ireland; Montreal Museum, Canada; and Glassammlung Ernsting, Germany. Amsel's arrival in New Zealand fundamentally progressed the country's glass art scene as one of the leading international artists working in the medium.
