The Couple

Picture
TITLE: The Couple
​ARTIST: James Hopfensperger
DATE: 1982
TYPE: Sculpture

ABOUT: In 1966, James Hopsensperger founded and was the principal designer for his family business, Hopfensperger Art Studios. Guided by the steady business hand of his co-owner and spouse, Mary Rose, the studio earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and creativity in the Great Lakes area. His highly distinctive architectural glass installations employ rich and varied interplays of color, form, and light to dramatic effect in both religious and secular settings. Midland’s Blessed Sacrament Church, completed in 1967 and Jim’s home parish, contains some remarkable early examples of his glass window walls and commissioned sculptures. His bronze figures also grace the mid-Michigan landscape and include the noteworthy “Family” sculpture adjacent to the Midland Tridge, dedicated in 1982.
