- "Standing Columns #12" by Howard Ben Tre, 1983 - Howard Ben Tré casts glass sculptures using similar techniques he learned while casting metal sculpture. These solid, monumental works often have a green tinge and appear to glow as light passes through. Architectural elements and archeological remains inspire Ben Tré. Works like this one, which weighs well over 500 pounds, will take over two months to cool after molten glass is poured into a mold.
