Masters of Studio Glass: Richard Craig Meitner
West Bridge April 4 - October 18, 2009
The intellectual, poetic, and always changing work of the American artist Richard Craig Meitner (b. 1949) reflects a variety of
influences and ideas, from Japanese textiles and Italian painting and applied arts to science and the natural world. The colorless
glass surfaces of his quixotic objects often incorporate assorted materials such as rust, enamel, bronze, tile, paint, and print.
Meitner revels in unusual juxtapositions of forms and ideas, in unanswered questions, and in the intersections between art and
science. All of the objects in the exhibition are drawn from the Museum’s collection.
Voices of Contemporary Glass: The Heineman Collection
Contemporary Glass Gallery and Changing Exhibitions Gallery May 16, 2009 - January 3, 2010
Voices of Contemporary Glass showcases the 230 objects, by 87 international artists, that constitute the Museum’s recently
acquired Heineman Collection. The exhibition will present the collection in the historical context of international studio glass,
and focus on the accomplishments and “voices” of individual artists. Artists in the collection include Howard Ben Tré, Dale
Chihuly, Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, Harvey Littleton, Klaus Moje, and Toots Zynsky.
