"The small tree of life panel on your site was inspired by the
abstract design of a magnolia in blossom, a motif used in the W.
A. Glasner house in Glencoe, Illinois (Frank Lloyd Wright - 1905). We
began selling it at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio in Oak
Park, Illinois well over 25 years ago. It's been sold at over 20 major
museum stores nationally. It's been available in several colors and
sizes up to 12"X42", which was close to an exact copy."
Born and raised in Chicago, Bob lived in Palos Heights, IL for 17
years while raising a family, restoring the
Frank Lloyd Wright Home &
Studio, and doing the restoration of the Ryerson Architectural Library
ceiling in the The Art Institute of
Chicago® and their art glass collection. My selections from this
collection can be seen on their website
here.

Cooper moved to Florida 16 years ago. He still supplies art glass to
every Wright site that has a store and gives tours. He's worked from
home full time for over 30 years doing glass work.

Frank Lloyd Wright created light
screens - windows with ornamentation for the diffusion of walls
- to let the outside in and the inside out. Mixing form
with function, they provided beauty as artwork as well as
privacy while letting in soft natural diffused light. Frank
Lloyd Wright designed ornate panels of glass for skylights and
windows.
Renowned Saguaro artglass panel by
Frank Lloyd Wright at the
Arizona Biltmore Hotel, Phoenix, AZ also
designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. There is also an exhibit of
Frank Lloyd Wright art glass at the
The Art Institute of Chicago. |
