Celebrated glass artist Robert Levin, whose work is in museums and published around the world, creates pieces of incredible finish and precision. There is nothing rough or amateurish about them, as with so much blown glass: this is the work of a serious, museum-quality artist. This is a bowl that is gorgeous on its own, filled with fanciful biomorphic objects that are somewhere between fruit and living things, evoking curiosity and delight. There is actually one more "swirl" piece that was not included in these photos. There are NINE pieces in all here, including the bowl, and any one of them is intriguing on its own.

Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans.
