Ann Wolff
ifaces n s &i Figu g hr ets Ann Wolff has aroused attention and achieved international renown. With her powerful art, which she has continued to develop and intensify all her life, and also with her teaching and support of many other artists, she has significantly influenced and advanced the studio-glass movement from its very beginnings. Her oeuvre as a whole reveals the interest in the symbol two – separate and yet one – expressed in doubles and reflections, is a pervasive theme in her work in terms of subject matter, and on other levels as well. Ann Wolff is a seeker. Thinking about philosophical and existential questions is a fundamental driving force for her work. In this process the rational conceptualization enters into a dialog with the physical experience during production. Viewers can intuit this process, which has impelled Wolff’s work all her life, letting them experience her sculptures intensely. Every single sculpture rests within itself and radiates a quiet serenity. In all historical epochs, heads and faces were subjects and motifs in art.* Thus her recent sculptures, whether they be of glass or other materials, position themselves in modern European sculpture, in a line from Hans Arp to Constantin Brancusi to Barbara Hepworth and others, and yet express her very own insights and self-reflections.
