Entstehungsort

Literatur/QuellenVgl. Franz-Adrian Dreier, Albert Wiegel - A Glass Engraver of the Wilhelminisch Epoch, in: Journal of Glass Studies 15, 1973, S. 174-183, hier S. 181: The art historian Henry Thode, ... after seeing another large crystal plate completed in 1913 with Wagner's portrait exclaimed, 'This wonderful work should belong to Bayreuth; it should be seen only there at a sacred place, seen by all who are tuned in the high and the beautiful under the influence of Wagner's music.' But Wiegel, who was particularly fond of this work, did not want to give it up. He exhibited it by itself in Bayreuth eleven years later in the Gallery Nierenheim."
