The Fellows of The Corning
Museum of Glass are among
the world’s leading glass
collectors, scholars, dealers,
and glassmakers. The
objectives of this organization
are (1) to disseminate knowledge
about the history and
art of glassmaking and (2)
to support the acquisitions
program of the Museum’s
Rakow Research Library.
Admission to the fellowship
is intended to recognize
accomplishment, and is by
invitation.

The
Corning
Museum
of Glass
Annual
Report
2010
An educational institution
dedicated to the history,
art, and science of glass
Chartered by the Board
of Regents of the University
of the State of New York
April 27, 1951
(6026)
Accredited by the American
Association of Museums
1973, 1986, 1999, 2010

The Year
in Review
The Cold Genius, cut
colored glass, lead
came; light box. Judith
Schaechter (American,
b. 1961), U.S., Philadelphia,
PA, 2009. W. 106.7
cm (2010.4.121). Gift of
the Ennion Society.
One of the highlights of 2010 was receiving
reaccreditation by the American Association of
Museums (AAM), the professional body that
represents America’s museums. Fewer than
800 of the nation’s 17,500 museums are accredited.
Accreditation by the AAM, which
is widely recognized as the ultimate seal of
approval for museums, is granted in recognition
of commitment to excellence, accountability,
and the highest professional standards.
Everything described in this Annual Report
came under scrutiny, and we were proud (but
not surprised) to be reaccredited.
The Museum first applied for, and was
grant ed, accreditation in 1973, and since
then it has never lost this distinction. Our
next review by the AAM is planned for 2023,
by which time we will have been accredited
for half a century.
There was much to be proud of in 2010.
Visitation increased by six percent over 2009,
and during the year we welcomed some
387,000 guests. While individual and family
visitation was slightly lower than in 2009, the
number of tour groups grew by 25 percent.
Gross revenue from sales in the GlassMarket
and by food services was almost $6 million.
Just over one-quarter of all individual and
2
family guests participated in the Make Your
Own Glass Workshop, which for the first time
generated revenue of $1 million. The marked
increase in group tours prompted us to provide
a temporary third venue for the Hot Glass
Show, in the auditorium. We also began Hot
Glass Show demonstrations on the third of
Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice-class ships, and glass
auctions on all three ships generated $58,000
for The Studio’s Glassmaking Scholarship Fund.
We continued to enrich our collections. In
addition to purchases of glass objects that
range in date from the 17th century to the
present day, we received, as a gift from the
Ennion Society, The Cold Genius, an evocative
work in stained glass, made by the American
artist Judith Schaechter in 2009.
Other highlights included a large reversepainted
scene, created about 1750–1775, that
shows the Singelgracht, one of Amsterdam’s
many canals; a richly engraved tankard decorated
by Johann Franz Trümper at the Altmünden
glasshouse in Hesse-Kassel, Germany, in
1742; a wineglass with a stipple-engraved portrait
executed in The Hague by David Wolff,
one of the great late 18th-century masters of
this meticulous technique; an imposing cameo
glass lamp attributed to Thomas Webb and

Sons of Stourbridge, England, about 1880; and
Forest Glass, made in 2009 by Katherine Gray,
who used found tumblers to create treelike
forms and reverse the age-old cycle of destroying
forests to make glass, by using glass to
make a forest.
One of the pleasures of working at the Museum
occurs when the collecting paths of curators
and librarians intersect. Members of the
Beilby family were celebrated 18th-century
English enamelers who decorated numerous
drinking glasses with coats of arms, landscapes,
and other motifs. In 2010, the Rakow Research
Library acquired, with funds contributed by
the Fellows of the Museum, a pencil and wash
landscape with trees and buildings beside a
river, drawn about 1765 and signed by William
Beilby.
Seventy-four donors gave the Museum 305
objects for its glass collection, while no fewer
than 278 individuals, galleries, and museums
and other institutions enriched the holdings
of the Rakow Library.
During the year, we presented six temporary
exhibitions. We extended the 2009 special exhibition,
“Voices of Contemporary Glass: The
Heineman Collection,” which was seen by
more than half a million visitors. The 2010
special exhibition was “Medieval Glass for
Popes, Princes, and Peasants,” an overview
of glass vessels made in Europe between the
end of the Roman Empire and the beginning
of the Renaissance. The West Bridge was the
venue for three smaller exhibitions. “Tiffany
Treasures” brought together objects from the
Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell
University, the Rockwell Museum of Western
Art, and our own collection. “East Meets West:
Cross-Cultural Influences in Glassmaking in
the 18th and 19th Centuries,” drawn exclusively
from our collection, explores influences
in glassmaking that resulted from cultural
exchange between western Europe and East
Asia. A small exhibition in the “Masters of
Studio Glass” series focused on the master
engraver Jirˇí Harcuba. Meanwhile, in the
Rakow Library, we exhibited “Drawings for
American Stained Glass,” a selection from the
Library’s collection of works of art on paper.
Two events in 2010 that enhanced the stewardship
of our collections were the opening
of a new and enlarged conservation laboratory
and the installation of compact shelving
in the Rakow Library. The new shelving not
only provides superior conditions for existing
hold ings, but also more than triples the Library’s
capacity for paper-based publications.
This is excellent news because, although we
have an ambitious program to digitize the
Library’s holdings, we foresee an increase in
the rate at which we collect paper, especially
in the field of unique archival materials.
The Museum produced a varied list of publications.
For the first time, the Annual Report
was published in electronic form (with printed
copies available on demand). We also changed
the contents of the Report to focus on programs.
Instead of appearing exclusively in the
Report, acquisitions of glass and library materials
were described and illustrated in the first
volume of Notable Acquisitions, which reviews
50 remarkable additions to our collections.
Other publications on paper included two
issues of our Members’ newsletter, The Gather;
volume 52 of the Journal of Glass Studies; New
Glass Review 31; Medieval Glass for Popes,
Princes, and Peasants; and the first in a projected
series of three volumes that will provide
a comprehensive catalog of our Islamic glass
collection. Medieval Glass accompanied our
special exhibition, and Islamic Glass in The
Corning Museum of Glass, Volume One doc uments
our rich collection of scratch-engraved
and wheel-cut glass of the early centuries of
the Muslim era.
At the same time, The Studio produced two
DVDs in the “Glass Masters at Work” series:
Vittorio Costantini and William Gudenrath,

William Beilby

Gibbs, and Don Pierce

Corning’s GlassFest.
both of which were created by the Academy
Award–winning filmmaker Robin Lehman.
Educational and public programs are designed
for all age groups. Adult activities included
the 49th annual Seminar on Glass and
a one-day conference on medieval art and architecture.
Among our youth programs were
the Junior Curators (who mounted an exhibition
titled “Dreaming with Open Eyes: Fantasy
Meets Reality”), the Explainers program, and
Fire Up Your Future, which focuses on career
possibilities in museums and the arts. Scout
programs continued to increase, and 12,500
schoolchildren visited the Museum to participate
in “Glass: It’s Art, History, Science, and
More!” Cooperation with area teachers was
reinforced by two Evenings for Educators and
the New York State Middle School Association
Institute, which was hosted by the Museum.
The Studio presented a full program of activities.
An international faculty taught 61 intensive
one- or two-week courses in fields
as diverse as glassblowing, hot sculpting,
flameworking, enameling, and beadmaking.
The year’s activities included nine 10-week
courses that consisted of one session each
week, 30 weekend workshops, and nine oneday
workshops. Seven artists from four countries
received artist-in-residence awards, and
scholarships were awarded to enable 50 artists
and students to take classes at The Studio.
Outreach takes many forms. In addition
to deploying the Hot Glass Show on the third
of Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice-class ships, the
Museum presented its GlassLab at the Vitra
Design Museum (Germany) during Art Basel.
4
Much closer to home, the Hot Glass Roadshow
participated in Corning’s first GlassFest, which
was attended by more than 10,000 people who
watched our glassmaking demonstrations in
Centerway Square.
The Museum often borrows from institutions
and collectors to assemble our special exhibitions.
“Medieval Glass” is a case in point.
Conversely, whenever Corning’s treasures
would enhance an exhibition elsewhere without
endangering their safety, we are happy
to lend. In 2010, we lent objects to 17 institutions
in the United States and abroad. We
also lent an entire exhibition—the Richard
Meitner show that occupied the West Bridge
in 2009—to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma,
Washington. Masterworks by Louis Comfort
Tiffany (including the exquisite vase that appeared
on the cover of the 2006 Annual Report)
were lent to the Musée du Luxembourg
in Paris, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts,
and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond.
We made other loans to the American
Museum of Natural History, the Australian
National Maritime Museum, the Yale Center
for British Art, and the National Constitution
Center in Philadelphia.
The Museum accomplishes its programs
with support from many sources. Corning
Incorporated continues to provide munificent
support, as it has done from the day the Museum
opened. Additional support comes from
donors, foundations, the Fellows of the Museum
(who help to secure acquisitions for the
Rakow Library), Members, and our patron
group, the Ennion Society (which supports
glass acquisitions and educational activities).
At the annual dinner of the Ennion Society, a
sale of glass objects raised almost $16,000
for the Scholarship and Artist-in-Residence
Fund at The Studio. Grants in 2010 included
$36,890 from the New York State Council
on the Arts and $12,500 from the F. M. Kirby
Foundation. We acknowledge this support
with gratitude; without it, we would not be
reporting many of the successes, collective
and individual, that are listed in this Annual
Report.
We are looking forward to 2011, when we
will celebrate the Museum’s 60th birthday on
May 19 with a variety of special programs and
activities.

Development
The Corning Museum of Glass gratefully
acknowledges the many donors, Members,
foundations, and corporate contributors that
supported its initiatives in 2010. Thirteen new
individuals and couples joined the Museum’s
patron group, the Ennion Society.
The highlight of the year was the annual
Ennion Society dinner, held on October 13
in the Museum’s auditorium, which presented
a princely celebration of medieval glass. One
hundred fifty-seven members of the Society
and guests attended, and they enjoyed dining
in a medieval setting. The evening was graciously
hosted by James B. Flaws, chairman
of the Museum’s Board of Trustees, and his
wife, Marcia D. Weber. A sale of glass objects
raised nearly $16,000 for The Studio’s Scholarship
and Artist-in-Residence Fund.
Additional Ennion Society events in 2010
included private dinner receptions—at the
homes of Society members—for “Meet the
Artist” lecturers Dante Marioni, Jirˇí Harcuba,
and April Surgent; a private tour of our special
exhibition, “Medieval Glass for Popes, Princes,
and Peasants,” led by David Whitehouse; and
a reception for the Rakow Commission by
Luke Jerram, which included the unveiling of
two flameworked and blown glass sculptures,
Smallpox Virus and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency
Virus), from his “Glass Microbiology”
series.
Gifts given by members of the Ennion Society
during the year were used to add an impressive
work by the American artist Judith
Schaechter to the Museum’s collection. The
acquisition of this object, a stained glass panel
titled The Cold Genius, was voted upon by
members of the Directors’, Curators’, Sustainers,
and Collectors Circles of the Society.
In December, Ennion Society members
were invited to preview our Holiday Open
House glass sale. The Studio Holiday Open
House weekend raised almost $40,000 for The
Studio’s Scholarship and Artist-in-Residence
Fund. Proceeds from glass auctions on Celebrity
Cruises’ Solstice-class ships added $58,000
to the Museum’s Glassmaking Scholarship
Fund.
Grants in 2010 included $36,890 from
the New York State Council on the Arts;
$12,500 from the F. M. Kirby Foundation,
which helped us to purchase an 18th-century
armorial tumbler enameled by members of
the Beilby family; $3,000 from the Samuel H.
Kress Foundation to allow Dr. O. Akin Ige,
a professor and glass researcher from Nigeria,
to attend the interim meeting of the International

Financial
Report
Operating Results
Attendance at the Museum grew each month throughout 2010, contributing to the strong
financial results for the year. Visitor revenues were 14 percent stronger than in the previous year
because of the increase in visitation, improved sales in the GlassMarket, and greater participation
in the Make Your Own Glass Workshop. Visitor revenues totaled $9.2 million, a $1.1 million
increase over 2009. Other earned revenues also contributed to the financial success of 2010.
The Museum ended fiscal year 2010 with annual operating revenues exceeding operating expenses
by $2.2 million. The abbreviated version of the Museum’s operating results shown below
reflects 2010 year-end results for the general operating fund in comparison with last year (dollars
in thousands).
2010 2009
Total revenues and other funding $ 36,945 $ 33,936
Total expenses 34,761 33,140
Operating surplus $ 2,184 $ 796
Other important results for 2010 were:
1. Museum visitation grew six percent above 2009 attendance to 387,000.
a. Individual and family visitation was down two percent from 2009 because of reduced
regional travel.
b. Tour groups were up 25 percent, to their highest level of visitation in 12 years, including
a significant increase in Chinese and Indian tourists to the Museum.
c. In addition, 35,300 people attended a rich series of education programs and public
programs at the Museum.
2. Make Your Own Glass Workshop revenues reached $1.0 million for the first time in 2010, an
11 percent increase over 2009. A quarter of all individual and family Museum visitors made
glass at the workshop, up from 22 percent in the previous year. In 2010, 52,000 glassmaking
experiences were provided.
3. Total glass and library acquisitions were $1.2 million. Donations to the Museum’s collections
were valued at $428,000.
4. The Museum Operating Reserve Fund balance at the end of the year was $20.6 million,
up from $17.5 million at the end of last year. The fund recorded investment gains during
2010, and $1.1 million of the 2010 operating surplus was transferred to the fund before
December 31.
