| Museum gel and extreme heat. A recipe for disaster?
We have had clients report coming home to find that in their absence a piece had "traveled" to the edge of its pedestal or onto the floor. When musem gel becomes extremely hot, either in direct sun, under intense light, or in an unairconditioned home, it may liquify and cause the piece it is securing to hydroplane off its support. |

The Making of Athena
Margot Gotoff: A Legacy of Permanance, Part 1 of 4

With standing room only, sixty-eight year old sculptor, Margot Gotoff, captivated a room of 80+ admirers in mid October. Gotoff shared tales of her childhood influences, as she traveled with her father, Israel Gaynor Jacobson, the head of the Hebrew Immigration Aid Society (HIAS) after World War II. His efforts took her family around the world, as he met with heads of state and endeavored to relocate Holocaust survivors to new homes. Her father was also a recognized sculptor, who established a working studio in each city that they lived.
We took this opportunity to focus on Margot's work while her stunning piece, in the collection of David and Nancy Wolf, was on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Beginning with original forms, modeled entirely by hand in clay, we will explore, with this artist, the arduous steps required to transform a temporary material into a lasting work of cast glass.
