About the Item

Marvin Lipofsky 1938 - 2016 Lipofsky approached glass as an organic, sculptural medium; resulting in his signature amorphic forms. Many of his works are colorful “bubbles” of glass. Often semi-transluscent, they allow the viewer to examine their depths. He is best known for the organic form of his pieces. His glass sculptures have been featured in more than 40 solo exhibitions; his work is included in numerous private collections and in more than 100 museums and corporate collections throughout the world. A two-time recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, Lipofsky was a pioneer in the contemporary glass movement. He taught and lectured at more than 300 workshops, conferences, and universities all over the world, as well as being a co-founder of the Glass Art Society.

  • "Threaded Infusion Block in Gold, Purple and Red", Blown and Kiln Cast Glass
    By Jamie Harris
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    Jamie Harris straddles the disciplines of painting and glass blowing approaching his work, “more from a painterly perspective than as a traditional glassblower.” His work is primarily about something simple: ”loud splashes of color, capturing the innate way glass transmits, reflects, and absorbs color.” The viewer often witnesses this sensitivity through a number of techniques and forms that Harris has mastered: “from the strictness of my blown work to the organic looseness of my fused panels,” he uses color systems and theory to develop his forms. Yet the other critical layer to Harris’s work is expressive and visceral. The colors are intended to imprint an immediate emotion on the viewer’s experience of his objects as a very direct experience of color. Harris also straddles divergent historical epoch’s: “I merge a classic Venetian sensibility with a modernist approach.” blending the look of Murano glass with Twentieth Century modernism as typified by the Bauhaus, Harris hybridizes the functionality of vessel and the aesthetics of sculpture. Jamie Harris also teaches at UrbanGlass, in Brooklyn, NY. He has studied at the most prestigious glass studios in America: The Pilchuck Glass School, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Penland School off Crafts, the Haystack School, and the Corning Museum of Glass and Tiffany & Co.
