Additional Information: The monumental glass installation is comprised of twenty flame-like elements ranging from 7" to 26" in height. Per conversation between the artist and Palm Beach Modern Auctions' Auctioneer, Martin Blank met with the client, who had a fish tank between two rooms at the Ritz Carlton. She didn't like the fish tank, so she had it removed and commissioned the glass installation as a replacement. That client's name is available upon request; contact info@modernauctions.com or (561) 586-5500.
