#33: Gateson Recko & Josh Sable: "A Bright Place to Live" Size: 1.66" Price: $1,900


When these Recko/Sable collaborations were first made they represented the absolute pinnacle in American flameworking, bringing together two of the best marble artists that the world has to offer. These happened when Josh took a rare trip to Albuquerque, NM back in 2011 to visit Gateson when he lived there, and they spent a week on the torch together creating some of the most amazing marbles the world has ever seen. A unique combination of their two styles, these marbles showcase what each artist has accomplished over their illustrious careers, bringing together Gateson's reflections on space with Josh's mastery of the retticello, wigwags and millie snaps. These marbles are now rare as rare can be, and highly sought after by the best of collections. Masterful collaborations by two well-established masters, who, when all is said and done, will be looked on as two of the greatest artists of the new contemporary marble movement. These marbles represent your chance to own a special piece of marble history, as exciting and inspired as these things come.

This particular collab represents the greatest of Gateson's styles of course - the Universe marble. It is combined with Josh's most famous style, the reticello, a white beauty resting inside the Universe, with a bright blinging opal in front of it. The entire marble is tied together, both in color and form, with Josh's millies surrounding the equator, and then a focal millie in the middle of the backside. I dearly love the colors in this marble and will miss this one when it leaves! Another super cool feature of this Universe is the silver moons which Gateson incorporated into some of his Universe marbles. They look SO cool in hand. A simply incredible marble, an amazing look into space and the careers of two great marble artists!! Signed 'G x S 2011'.
