Friend/mentor/oft-time critic(!) – you straddled the globe but, hey, your greatest gift was the ability to communicate your extraordinary creative drive, and give impetus, to Everyman.
Whether you were storming the pinnacles of Europe, America and the greater World-at-Large…
…or sharing your vision with the Mayor of Bega…
…at the heart of it all you loved that fickle mistress, Glass. And Glass loved you.
Yep, that really is Michelle O checking out Klausie’s work…
From Lani via Nige.
Klaus of course is still on his triumphant Euro/American tour, picking up awards left, right and centre. We’ll catch up with him for all the goss when he gets back…
Klausie’s about to mark yet another significant milestone in his long and illustrious career by celebrating his 75th birthday with (as one might expect) an exhibition and masterclass setting his signature tone.
Last Friday the Gang and BVSC Mayor Tony Allen were given a preview by the Maestro himself, just prior to the work being shipped off to Canberra…
The exhibition opens this coming Wednesday evening at the Glassworks in Kingston.
The ANU has just added one of Klaus’s wall pieces, Floating Red, to their collection. Gorgey.
If you fancy checking it out in the flesh, it’s in the ANU College of Business and Economics (Bldg 26C.)
Anybody surfing the airways this coming week during Drive with Louise Maher on ABC Radio 666 Canberra can catch Bill Brown’s biographical feature on Klaus’s illustriously long (and continuing) practice.
No specific time, but 666 Drive kicks off from 3pm…
More goodies in from Klaus…
…the new installation at the Kaplan/Ostergaard Glass Center at the Palm Springs Art Museum…
Fantastic schnapps! Have to say that mobile phone-mail technology is quite fantastic. We might have to get us one of them thar i-phone jobbies.
Thanks Klaus! The work looks stunning. See ya when you get back. ♥

There’s a whole suite of goodies – from radio to video to picture gallery – produced by Bill Brown…
