Voices ofcontemporary glass : the Heineman collection. Tina Oldknow
The Heineman Collection at the The
Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY, is one of the largest collections of
studio glass sculptures and vessels in the United States. Given to The Corning
in 2006, this is the first publication documenting this vast new addition to
the Museum's collections. Reflecting a deep respect for and commitment to
artists and their work, the "Heineman Collection" demonstrates the
versatility of one material - glass - to explore and express a wide range of
ideas in art. Lively in spirit and encyclopedic in scope, the "Heineman
Collection" includes 240 objects, dating from 1969 to 2005, by 87 artists
from the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan. The collection reflects
historical developments in the field of contemporary studio glass, and it
explores the broad themes of abstraction and material. It is a portrait of the
Heinemans' career in collecting art and is a memorable celebration of
individual taste.
