Kind Words for The Klimt Collection

Lately we have been receiving many emails of kind words and praise from Klimt admirer's near and far!

One email in particular we'd like to share with you came to us from Dolores Barrett, a glass artist and Klimt admirer:

Dear Klimts,

I just discovered your website this morning and had to write you. I am a glass artist who has long been a fervent admirer of your ancestor's work. His distinct sense of color and style have had such a profound influence on my work, I don't think there is any piece I've created that doesn't suggest its effect.

I recently completed a work Pavane d'Or inspired by the gorgeous gold work of Klimt and the Wiener Werkstatte, and was delighted that is was selected to be in the live auction for the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School On October 23rd (a real honor I had aspired to for years!).

Thank you for all you have done to honor and perpetuate the legacy of Gustav. I feel as if by thanking you, in a small way I am thanking him for sharing his creativity with us all. I look forward to all the inspiration his work will continue to provide me in the future.

Sincerely,

Dolores Barrett
Porcelain and Glass Artistry
