Today, we remember Arthur Isaac Stern (18 June 1950 - 22 September 2021), an architectural glass artist who approached his craft with the intention of a jazz artist, always playing with organic elements in new combinations, expanding his design vocabulary, and refining the theme of frozen music in his prodigious body of work. He found inspiration everywhere but most often in music and the friendships it brought him.

Arthur would sometimes compile a playlist to mark an important occasion. To honor this third anniversary of his transition, check out the brand new release, entitled ‘The Set’ from Jerry Douglas, master Dobro and lap steel guitar player and producer. The reimagined version of “What Might Have Been” features the brilliant Aoife O’Donovan on vocals.

Arthur Isaac Stern (18 June 1950 - 22 September 2021) is celebrated today for being a good and kind man, a masterful architectural glass artist, mandolin player, cat whisperer, and Citroën enthusiast.

He lives on in the play of light on glass. His legacy resides in the public and private art commissions in China, Japan, Canada, and 39 of the United States.

This self-portrait shows the scale of the show pieces (“Mercury,” “Apollo,” and “Zeus”) from his Greek god series. Built from wood, metal, and glass with special hand blown German glass and hand beveled pyramids.

Arthur Stern, architectural glass artist, was named after his father's brother Arthur Stern, who was an officer on the USS Rowan DD405, a Navy destroyer sunk off of Italy in WWII. His military portrait was added to an image of our flag as seen through the artist's art glass installed in Fire Station #8 in Cary, NC. On Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who served often at great personal sacrifice to protect our democracy. It is a privilege to honor this legacy.

Encore! to Ms. Z.B. Stern who turned six years old today. This is a photo with her beloved Arthur from her first birthday. Today, she is more fluffy, more sassy, and independent than ever.

Throughout his career, Arthur Stern forged relationships with architects and design professionals. Among the American architects he admired most was the indomitable visionary Antoine Predock (1936-2024) whose designs told stories of place and time and materials. The Canadian Museum of Human Rights (Winnipeg, Manitoba), in particular, was pure Predock poetry. Predock embodied the soul qualities of the American Southwest - and took them worldwide through his work. Ironic that a man who lived his life full throttle chose to live surrounded by desert - a landscape which pretends to be dead. That which lives on . . . . Condolences to his wife, the sculptor Constance deJong.
