Abby Modell’s Galaxy Collection takes its inspiration from the natural swirling formations of the stars, planets, and the infinite dimension of the night sky. Focused on transparencies and light within the objects, Modell imagines the natural beauty of earth’s rock crystals as dimensions. Modell uses visual surfaces of matte and gloss mirror glass finishes to express her vision. This combination creates an imaginative terrain of ‘Moon Mountain’ sculptural objects. The artist transforms glass, Swarovski crystals, and luminous mirror finishes, into pieces that capture a beauty comparable to supernova bursts of light and vibrant star formations. SELECTED EXHIBITIONS:2018 Scope Miami, Jan Kossen Gallery, Miami, FL2018 SOFA Chicago, Rebecca Myers Gallery, Chicago, IL2018 Holiday House, Melanie Roy Design, New York, NY2018 National Liberty Museum, Space Lab: An interstellar exhibit of glass art, Philadelphia, PA2018 Hamptons Object D’Art and Jewelry Show, Southampton, NY2018 Kips Bay Designer Showhouse, B.A. Torrey Lounge, New York, NY2018 2009 Architectural Digest Design Show, New York, NY2018 2013 Wynn LVNV, Sculpture and Large Works, Las Vegas, NV2017 2015 Market Art + Design, Bridgehampton, NY2017 American Fine Craft Show, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY2016 Bloomingdale's Holiday Window, Moon Glow, New York, NY GALLERY REPRESENTATION:530 Burns Gallery, Sarasota, FloridaJan Kossen Gallery, Basel, Switzerland and New York, USARebecca Myers Design Gallery, Baltimore, MDThe Wit Gallery, Canyon Ranch, Lenox, MA PERMANENT COLLECTIOINS INCLUDE:2018 Royal Caribbean, Symphony of the Seas, Sculpture collection preview March 20182013 Morgan Stanley, World Headquarters, New York, NY2009 Fontainebleau Hotel Lobby Installation, Miami Beach, FL EDUCATION:2006 Michael Davis Glass Studio, New York, NY (current)1976 Syracuse University and Parsons School of Design, BFA
