Among his sculptural commissions were works for the United States Federal Court Building, Washington, D.C.; John Hopkins University; and the United States Battle Monument in Florence, Italy.

As one of her research interests, Gail Bardhan, retired librarian from the Rakow Research Library at CMoG, kept a list of American museums with Steuben glass in their collection. I have used her research to find examples of Steuben glass in the collection of the Museum of Fine Art, Houston. Scott Hansen
