What better way to celebrate than with this heart-shaped cast glass sculpture by Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova? Heart/Red Flower, Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova (makers), Zeleznobrodske sklo (studio), Zelezny Brod, Czech Republic, designed in 1973, made in 1976. Gift of the artists. 81.3.38.Object of the Week: Red Thread of Life, Barry Sautner, New Jersey, United States, 1991. Gift of Richard Moiel and Katherine Poeppel. 2017.4.15. Glass artist Barry Sautner drew much of his inspiration from nature.

In a list of notes that accompanied the piece, Sautner wrote, “As in ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, this piece symbolizes the fragile interdependence of all living things and the delicate balance that must be maintained between mankind and nature if all living things, including Man, are to survive.”
