Why Should I Entrust Bokrosh Studio for the Restoration of My Libenský Glass?

Here's Why...

Many of us remember the scene in John Hughes' iconic film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where Cameron basically kicked his dad’s rare 1961 Ferrari 250GT California off a jack, causing it to take a most unfortunate ride out the back of a glass-walled garage that was at least two stories above the ground!* While this ultimately liberated Cameron, car lovers cringed in their movie seats!

The same feeling of protectiveness applies to collectors of fine glass art as well. It stems from the fact that people realize that an original is just that – an original – the result of an artist’s vision and ultimately crafted by the artist’s own hands. Such is the case with Victory 1989-90 by the incomparable Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová.

Typically, the rarer the artwork, the greater its value. Therefore, when damage occurs to an original, assuming it is not damaged beyond repair, great lengths are often taken to find an expert who can not only conduct the repair and restoration, but ensure that the artist’s original vision and, ultimately, the market values of the piece are maintained.

In our world, the works of Libenský-Brychtová are widely considered our Ferrari equivalent. Much like the creations that stemmed from the mind of the storied automaker’s founder, Enzo Ferrari, the use of glass as a medium was raised to new heights by Stanislav Libenský and his wife and artistic partner Jaroslava Brychtová when they began creating art together in Europe during the mid-1950’s. Their works revolutionized how glass was used in art and won them fans and accolades the world over. Therefore, when a collector inquires about an original Libenský-Brychtová glass sculpture for sale, market prices and rare availability reflect this appreciation for their artistic excellence accordingly.

Sometimes calamities occur – despite our best efforts to prevent them. If your Libenský-Brychtová becomes damaged, take solace in the fact that help exists and the art is salvageable. Michael R. Bokrosh III, an artist with decades of experience in the repair and restoration of fine glass art and founder of Bokrosh Studio in Seattle, specializes in restoring extremely rare and valuable glass artwork from around the world.
