Join Phipps for another premier exhibition, this time featuring the extraordinary work of Hans Godo Frabel, an internationally famous artist known for his otherworldly glass creations.
As beautiful as it is unusual, the artist's installation at Phipps promises to bring a new and reflective view of garden-glass artistry to one of the oldest Victorian glasshouses in the country. Designed to whisk guests away to a dazzling, fresh world, the exhibition is filled with whimsical figures, mysterious masks, playful sculptures, and a botanical interplay never-before-seen in the region.
Exhibit design is a collaboration between Hans Godo Frabel and the staff from Frabel, Scott C. Scarfone from Oasis Design Group and the Phipps staff.
Scott C. Scarfone, ASLA, Principal Oasis Design Group

Phipps is open daily from 9:30 am to 5 pm and until 10 pm on Friday. A tour of the Conservatory will take approximately 90 minutes so please plan to arrive in plenty of time to complete your visit before the closing times noted above.

    Interesting glass art, beautifully framed by Phipps greenery. Well worth a special visit. And Phipps is good as usual.
