In celebration of the 50th anniversary, in 2012, of the “birth” of the American Studio Glass movement, this exhibition features works by one of the founders of the movement, Harvey K. Littleton.
The objects on display - 19 vessels and sculptures and five vitreographs (prints made from glass plates) - span the arc of Littleton’s career in glass from the 1960s through the 1980s.
Works are drawn both from the Museum’s collection and the artist’s personal collection.
Founders of American Studio Glass: Harvey K. Littleton recognizes Littleton, born and raised in Corning, for his achievements in developing glass as a material for artistic expression.
It is the first solo exhibition of the artist’s work at the Museum.
