    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lisa A. Batitto, Public Relations Manager, Newark Museum Phone: 973-596-6638, e-mail: [email protected] Newark Museum Exhibition Celebrates Sparkling Gift of Steuben Glass Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass Opens May 1, 2019 Newark, NJ – A sparkling, colorful gift of Steuben glass from The Thomas N. Armstrong III Collection will be on display in an upcoming exhibition at the Newark Museum. Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass, opening on May 1, 2019, showcases more than 130 works in glass designed by Frederick Carder for the famed Steuben Glass Works from 1903 to 1933 and used in a variety of settings by the collector. The exhibition presents a jewel box of shimmering glass, organized by Carder’s colors that he created and patented. Carder was fascinated with ancient glass colors and forms, and he worked to recreate the iridescent colors of excavated ancient Greek and Roman glass. He also designed new shapes inspired by Chinese and Venetian glass as well as shapes influenced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, modern at the time. Carder kept detailed notebooks of his color formulas and glass types, revealing the glassblowing chemistry and techniques used to create the variety of functional and decorative glassware in the exhibition, including vases, bowls, candlesticks and stemware. The exhibition will include interactive tablets to connect Carder’s formulas and shapes with the colors and forms on display. Audio recordings of Carder interviews will also heighten the story of the experimentation behind the creation of this colorful glass. “Carder’s work for Steuben is particularly appropriate for Newark’s collection,” said Amy Simon Hopwood, the Museum’s Associate Curator of Decorative Arts.

  • Antecedentes De La Escultura Del Studio Glass Movement En El Vidrio Artístico Soplado Del Periodo 1800-19501
    ARTÍCULOS Arte, Individuo y Sociedad ISSN: 1131-5598 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/ARIS.47613 Antecedentes de la escultura del Studio Glass Movement en el vidrio artístico soplado del periodo 1800-19501 María Ángeles Villegas-Broncano2; Jorge Alberto Durán-Suárez3;Antonio Sorroche-Cruz4 Recibido: 24 de diciembre de 2015 / Aceptado: 16 de noviembre de 2016 Resumen. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis histórico-artístico de las influencias de carácter tecnológico y cultural de las obras de arte en vidrio del periodo 1800-1950 en el denominado Studio Glass Movement. Los objetos artísticos de vidrio realizados por soplado dependen tanto del estado de la tecnología vidriera como de la experiencia y sentido creativo del artista. Dichas obras de arte experimentaron un gran impulso en el periodo mencionado como consecuencia del desarrollo técnico del vidrio en el ámbito industrial y del avance de las investigaciones científicas. El vidrio se erigió protagonista del Art Nouveau y Art Déco, y actualmente ocupa un lugar preferente en la escultura y las artes decorativas contemporáneas. Estas obras en vidrio han contribuido contundentemente al nacimiento y expansión del Studio Glass Movement, la tendencia contemporánea de arte en vidrio de mayor repercusión escultórica. Se describen las propiedades técnicas y artísticas de las obras representativas de las fábricas, talleres o escuelas de los países donde obtuvieron un mayor desarrollo. Asimismo, se desvelan las características de la escultura contemporánea en vidrio deudoras de las técnicas de ejecución tradicionales y de la trasmisión de la experiencia artística entre vidrieros. Palabras clave: Vidrio; escultura; siglo XIX; siglo XX. [en] Background of the Studio Glass Movement sculpture from the blown glass artworks of 1800-1950 Abstract.
