Stern Stilettos by Robert Stern
Glass shoes by Miami artist, Rob Stern. The show was inspired by his wife’s obsession and collection of shoes, including Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, and Alexander McQueen. This one-of-a-kind installation featuring 50 different glass shoes attempts to capture and reflect some of the many moods and moments in a woman’s life.

Fire & Soul:
Anna Pavlova’s dying white swan of classical ballet was reborn as an exuberant firebird aflame with passion thanks to Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes. His Russian dance company transformed art, culture, and fashion during the early 1900s. Feathered costumes encrusted with jewels flourished at the Folies Bergère in Paris and exotic harem-style fashions became all the rage. Dynamic expressionist dancers dominated the cabarets of Weimar Berlin and stepped onto the dance floors of the roaring twenties. European porcelain artists were inspired to create some of the most dynamic and decorative figurines of the Art Deco era.

Art on Fire – The Chihuly Connection
Dale Chihuly is arguably the most famous glass artist in the world. His name draws vast crowds to site-specific glass installations across the globe as well as to art galleries and museums internationally. The stunning Art on Fire exhibit at the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts presents the creative exuberance of Chihuly’s glass art.
A fabulous Macchia garden seems to burst into bloom along with monumental Ikebana flower arrangements. A Persian wall is accompanied by Chihuly’s paintings for the original installation. Chihuly’s luminous Baskets and sensual Seaforms vie for attention with his flamboyant Venetians. A Chihuly Venetian was once described as a vase that has had an affair with a chandelier.
The Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts is a world-class collection of ceramic art and studio glass in South Florida. Our galleries showcase the finest British and European pottery and porcelain from the last two centuries, including Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, and Lladró. Our glass collections feature stunning works of art by Lalique and Chihuly.
WMODA is a non-profit museum founded in 2014 by Arthur Wiener and his family to inspire appreciation and understanding of ceramics and glass as art forms. This remarkable legacy enables us to celebrate an important aspect of our cultural heritage in an exciting and enjoyable environment.
