Gallery Talk with Ed & Karen Ogul

For the exhibition: Style Moderne: French Art Deco Enameled Glass from the Ed & Karen Ogul Collection

For nearly 40 years, Ed and Karen Ogul have shared a love and passion for prints, paintings, art books, and decorative objects like those in the exhibition.

Their interest in French enameled glass began in Paris in 1997 with a few purchases, which eventually developed into a collection of over 300 objects. In addition to their own collection of art, the Oguls own Paramour Fine Arts in Franklin, Michigan, a private fine arts gallery.

For over 30 years Ed served as a teacher and administrator in the Detroit Public Schools and was an instructor at Wayne State University. Karen worked as a neo-natal intensive care registered nurse.
