Description

Glass has been used decoratively for thousands of years, but it changed dramatically in the early '60s when a small group of artists developed new techniques that made the creations of three-dimensional glass sculptures (or "studio glass") much easier. One of those young artists, Marvin Lipofsky, was responsible for bringing these techniques to the Bay Area (where studio glass has stayed popular ever since). His pieces are abstract, multi-colored, and some almost suggest surreal internal organs. His work will be on display at the Los Gatos Museums' Hot Spot exhibit, along with other Bay Area studio glass artists Mary B. White, David Ruth, Liz Strickland, Johnathon Schmuck and Susan Longini.
