Draft:Derix Glasstudios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: - "Having 70 members, they emphasize training the next generation and providing independent artists a platform to hone their craft" is a statement more of opinion than fact based on the language
    - The 150th year is not necessary to mention unless something significant happened then? (and a citation would be needed for that event)
    - "Its prestige is attributed to its blend of tradition with contemporary designs and techniques." with no citation, this is opinion. GraziePrego (talk) 05:07, 6 November 2023 (UTC)


Derix Glasstudios is a prominent German company specializing in stained glass artistry. Founded in 1866.[1] and headquartered in Taunusstein, Hessen, it is renowned for producing both traditional and contemporary glass artworks[2]. Throughout its history, the company has been instrumental in the development and international recognition of glass art for architectural applications.

Notable works[edit]

Their global footprint is evident in iconic pieces such as the central subway station Formosa Boulevard in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Cologne Cathedral's south window[3] known as the "Richter Fenster"[4], and the "Search" glass tower in Omaha, USA[5]. Particularly noteworthy is the "Dome of Light" in the Formosa Boulevard station[6], a symbol of Taiwanese democratic emergence, crafted by Italian artist Narzissus Quagliata. Other notable artists that Derix worked with or for are Gerhard Richter[7], Guy Kemper[8] Charlotte Ann Paul[9] and James Earley[10]
