Draft:Derix Glasstudios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: - "Having 70 members, they emphasize training the next generation and providing independent artists a platform to hone their craft" is a statement more of opinion than fact based on the language
    - The 150th year is not necessary to mention unless something significant happened then? (and a citation would be needed for that event)
    - "Its prestige is attributed to its blend of tradition with contemporary designs and techniques." with no citation, this is opinion. GraziePrego (talk) 05:07, 6 November 2023 (UTC)


Derix Glasstudios is a German company specializing in stained glass artistry. Founded in 1866.[1] and headquartered in Taunusstein, Hessen, it is renowned for producing both traditional and contemporary glass artworks.[2] Throughout its history, the company has contributed significantly to the development and international recognition of glass art.

Notable works

[edit]

Derix Glasstudios' works are featured in several iconic locations globally. One prominent example is the central subway station Formosa Boulevard in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, known for its "Dome of Light," crafted by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata. This installation symbolizes Taiwanese democratic emergence.[3]

In Cologne, Germany, the company created the "Richter Fenster" for the Cologne Cathedral's south window, designed by artist Gerhard Richter.[4][5] Another significant project is the "Search" glass tower in Omaha, USA.[6]

The company has worked with numerous artists, including Gerhard Richter,[7] Guy Kemper,[8] Charlotte Ann Paul,[9] and James Earley.[10]
