Stained Glass from Mind to Light-SIGNED Copy

Limited Collector’s Edition — Signed Copy

Published in 1976, this book marks the very first editorial work of Narcissus Quagliata, capturing the origins of an artistic journey that would later redefine the language of light and glass.

Born in Italy and later immersed in the creative community of San Francisco through his studies at the San Francisco Art Institute, Quagliata began a profound personal exploration. This book documents the pivotal moment when his practice evolved from painting into stained and leaded glass, forging an untried and deeply personal path of expression—one that would influence generations of glass artists worldwide.

This edition is offered as a rare collector’s piece:

• Original 1976 publication
• Hand-signed by the artist
• Strictly limited to 50 copies worldwide

More than a book, this is a historical artifact—a tangible record of an artist at the threshold of innovation. Each signed copy carries not only Quagliata’s signature, but the weight of a formative moment in contemporary art history.

An exceptional opportunity for collectors, institutions, and admirers of groundbreaking artistic vision to own a piece of Narcissus Quagliata’s legacy.
