This lot, A MARBLE CONSIGNMENT , consists of a 1-29/32" (49 mm) Contemporary Art Glass Marble by Mark Matthews (signed "Matthews 1992") in its original pristine Mint condition. It has red and white bands spiraling against a dark chocolate brown background close to the surface of a clear base. Mark Matthews is considered among virtually all collectors of contemporary glass marbles to be the top artist working in the field today. Mark began blowing glass in the mid-1970s while an undergraduate of Kent State University and has since become internationally renowned. After receiving his MFA from Ohio University, he turned to glass working full time.

Mark operates out of a small studio with the aid of Jim Griffin, who assists with the hot and cold working of the glass as well as just about every other aspect of running a glass art studio. Mark's work has been featured in the National Museum of American Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Miami University Art Museum, and the Ohio Craft Museum, as well as in several books. His marbles are often considered the highlights of collections read more
