Zdeněk Kunst (*1955)
Lady Viola, 2025, fused crystal, cut and polished, signed Z. Kunst, overall dimensions 43 × 14 × 7 cm.
Author’s words: For me, this work represents the merging of music in the form of a musical instrument with the female body. Earlier violin makers surely sought a similar union of shapes when giving form to the instrument they were creating. The slender neck and rounded hips have attracted our attention for centuries. Hence the double meaning of the title of this glass object: “Lady Viola.”
