| Renowned
internationally for
their individual artwork, and acclaimed for their collaborations in glass and steel,
Horvitz/Roesch of HR Studio have created limited edition fine furniture. Each work
is signed and dated and is inspired by their appreciation for furniture that is functional
and aesthetic. Horvitz is recognized for her etched glass; Roesch for his
craftsmanship with aluminum and steel. Their collaborative works and installations
are in the permanent collections at the Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester, N.Y.;
University City Science Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kunstzaal Marktzeventien,
Holland; Centro De Arte Moderna, Gulbenkian, Lisbon, Portugal; Musee d'Art Contemporain,
Chamalieres, France; McAllen International Museum, Texas; Museum of Greater Victoria,
Victoria, B.C. Canada; Fyns Kunstmuseum, Odense Denmark; Museum of American Glass,
Millville, New Jersey; Glasmuseum, Ebeltoft, Denmark. "We have been collaborating in art work and in life's work for
over twelve years. As life partners we uphold one another. In our artwork and the
furniture we design and fabricate, Horvitz paintings in glass or metal are upheld by
Roesch's sculptural forms. We aim for a marriage that creates a visual weaving of images
and text. Our collaborations refer to our love for opera and journeys on our sailboat
"Siren". We have worked together lecturing and giving workshops about art
at the Art Academy in Enshede, Holland, and worked together as Cultural Advisors to the
U.S. Embassy in Ecuador and Argentina, 1996, Damascus, Syria, 1997, and Cairo, Egypt,
1998." |
