Sculpted glass and bronze doors at the Library of Congress Adams Building (by Washington Glass Studio with Fireart Glass) that mirror original bronze door sculpture by Lee Lawrie.
Summary
[edit]DescriptionMonumental Glass Doors at Library of Congress John Adams Building.jpg |
English: in 2013, the US Architect of the Capitol replaced the original, historic bronze doors of the Library of Congress John Adams Building to be code compliant. The new doors incorporate cast glass panels mounted within a bronze framework that reference the artistic heritage of the original doors by recreating the original, historic bronze reliefs in kiln-cast glass. The kiln-formed sculptural glass was made from molds taken off the original door sculptures. The original bronze doors will be retained in their present hold-open position, recessed into architectural niches. The sculpted bronze doors located on the east and west sides of the Adams building feature high-relief sculptures by American artist, Lee Lawrie, designed to commemorate the history of the written word, depicting gods of writing as well as real-life Native American Sequoyah. The glass artwork was made by the Washington Glass Studio and Fireart Glass. |
