- Large glass installations add blue and green abstract shapes to the entrance of the building. Frederick Heidel; Entrance Glass; Revenue Former chairman of the art & architecture department and professor of art at Portland State University for over 25 years, Frederick Heidel is well known and respected for his work in glass and acrylic paintings. Throughout his career, Heidel has exhibited widely including major shows at the San Francisco Museum of Art, Portland Art Museum, University of Oregon Art Museum, Smith/Anderson Gallery, Palo Alto, CA and Glasgalene Kuhler, Amsterdam, Holland. The artist has also been awarded numerous commissions and is included in many public and private collections. A painter, Heidel began working in glass in 1967 after receiving a Chapelbrook Foundation Grant to work in the glass factories in Holland. Since that time, the artist has traveled to the studios of Glassobjekte Van Tetterode to execute glass sculpture from drawings he has prepared in his Portland studio. The exploration of this medium has lead Heidel to create sculpture of painted light and the nuances of the colorful laminated glass harkens to the painterly and fluid surfaces of his paintings. Heidel's works on paper reflect the translucent quality of his glass sculpture.

- Biographical Information
- The work in glass involves laminating areas of stained (colored) glass to one or both sides of a clear base core. The core can be plate glass, tempered plate glass or safety glass (a sandwich of plexiglass between clear glass). The laminated color can be one or more layers, each layer giving additional relief as well as color changes. In addition, laminated layers of heat slumped plate glass can give even more three dimensional relief. The entire surface of the base (core) or any part of it can be covered with color. Areas of clear glass or possibly sandblasted or etched surfaces can be incorporated into the design. (Frederick Heidel, 1986)
