Abby Modell

 

Abby Modell creates one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass featuring three-dimensional wall art, large sculptural objects and LED lighting.

Modell’s collection is represented at fine art fairs including Art Palm Beach (2023, 2024 and 2025), Hamptons Fine Art Fair (2021, 2022 and 2023), Scope Miami (2019 and 2021), Art New York, SOFA Chicago, and Architectural Digest Design Show, NYC. Abby Modell was commissioned by Bloomingdale’s to create the ‘Candy WonderLandscape’ windows as a part of their 2023 NYC Holiday Windows themed in conjunction with the ‘Wonka’ movie.  The collection was highlighted by The New York Times and Abby Modell was interviewed on NBC New York Live and FOX-5 Good Day New York. The Boca Raton Museum of Art conducted a private Collector’s Tour of Abby Modell’s work through the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG) in 2024. Her work was selected for and exhibited at the First Heclectik-Art Glass International Biennial in Braga, Portugal in 2022.

Inspired by galactic formations of ultra-luminous swirling stars with their infinite dimension and ever-changing rotation, the artist focuses on transparencies, refracted light and modern forms. Design, color, shape, texture and light merge together to reveal the intricate subtlety and beauty of the universe throughout her collection. The artist’s specialty is applying glass assemblages to her work. Matte, mirrored and gloss glass with mixed crystals create textural cosmic surfaces. Modell merges reflective and metallic hues to visually expand dimension. Organic shapes push the boundaries of contemporary design. Ombre color palettes mixed with dichroic glass further illustrate her unique expression, creating rainbows of light.

Modell is proud to partner with a zero-waste certified sustainable glass finishing studio committed to reducing environmental impact on our planet. By recirculating applied glass into many of Modell’s pieces during their creation, the studio honors and preserves the earth and our resources.
