Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan

Christie's East, June 9, 1998, lot 1

David Whitehouse, The Corning Museum of Glass:  A Decade of Glass Collecting, 1990-1999, Corning, NY, 2000, p. 122

Overall in very good condition. With two cracked clear glass tiles, and one cracked amber glass tile. With some occasional small and minor edge flecks and edge chips to the glass. The glass throughout with small air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. With a few very minor areas of separation to the leading. The window with areas of soiling and a few occasional paint speckles and drips. In the original painted wood frame. The successful buyer is welcome to retain the custom-designed light box that Sotheby's recently built for this window. Strong graphic composition with a beautiful earthy Prairie School color palatte. A great rare example of Sullivan and Adler's leaded glass designs.
