Why Collect Art Glass?
Ironically, I was asked this question recently. My first reaction was to
wonder just how this person could be so naive. Then I realized that many
people who don't collect glass may be naive when it comes to understanding the fascination that we art glass collectors share.
There are definitely many different reasons that each person collects art
glass, but the one thing we all have in common is the pure appreciation
of artistic perfection. Just looking at some pieces, for example from
Charles Lotton, inspires awe in the sheer beauty of the work.
Another obvious reason is that beautiful art glass certainly enhances
any decor. From adding additional colors to an otherwise neutral-colored
room to showcasing favorite pieces, art glass can provide the finishing
touches for any room in your home or office.
A very important reason to collect art glass is for investment. Quality
art glass by artists who have established themselves as keystones in the industry increases in value over time (sometimes much more reliably than
the stock market). I have some pieces in my personal collection that have increased thousands of dollars. In addition to collecting established
artists, keep your eyes open for the up-and-coming glass artists. Initially,
their prices are generally less expensive; and as they begin to establish themselves in the industry, the prices of their pieces rise accordingly.
