Julius Weiland

Glass and Painting

Julius Weiland is best known for his glass sculptures which he creates since two decades in various techniques. The recent works are mouth blown pieces realized at the hot glass studio of Berlin Glassworks.

Besides his glass works he is also working two-dimensional. His recent paintings belong to a series of buildings and architectual details of the modernist period in the former GDR.

His works are part of museum collections world wide - most recently a work was added to the contemporary glass collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and to the Museum Ulm.
