Bd. 2010 Andreas Mayer Pflanzen aus Glas (Plants made of glass) Zusammenfassung Die berühmte Harvard Universität besitzt ein angesehenes naturwissenschaftliches Museum das „Harvard Museum of Natural History“, welches jährlich rund 180.000 Besucher aus aller Welt anlockt. Die Hauptattraktion stellt eine einzigartige Sammlung von Pflanzenmodellen aus Glas dar. Prof. George Lincoln Goodale, der erste Direktor des Botanischen Museums von Harvard, wollte in den frühen 80er Jahren des 19. Jahr­ hunderts permanente Pflanzenmodelle aus Glas. Sie sollten zum einen die Schönheit des Pflanzenreichs in möglichst realistischer Form abbilden und zum anderen das ganze Jahr über zu Unterrichtszwecken genutzt werden. Ihm gelang es die beiden äußerst talentierten deutschen Glaskünstler, die sich bereits durch die Herstellung sehr realistischer Glasmodelle von marinen Invertebraten (wie etwa Quallen und See­ anemonen) einen Namen gemacht hatten, Leopold und seinen Sohn Rudolf Blaschka zur Herstellung von Pflanzen aus Glas zu überzeugen. Die Modelle wurden in den Jah­ ren 1886 bis 1936 exklusiv für die Harvard Universität mit damals üblichen Techniken gefertigt. Sie versetzten von da an den Betrachter durch ihre unbeschreibliche Schön­ heit und Detailtreue in großes Erstaunen. Die Finanzierung dieses Mammutprojekts übernahm Elizabeth C.

  • New Commissioned Work, One Portrait of One Man, by Beth Lipman
    WEISMAN ART MUSEUM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | September 13, 2017 Contact: Erin Lauderman, 612.625.9685, [email protected] One Portrait of One Man: A new commission by the Weisman Art Museum will be installed the week of September 26, 2017 MINNEAPOLIS – The Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota will begin installation on a recently commissioned work One Portrait of One Man, by Beth Lipman. This work is a significant addition to WAM’s American collection, now spanning more than a century of innovative American art. Known for her large-scale, sculptural installations based on the seventeenth-century tradition of still life painting, Lipman worked, at WAM’s invitation, with the museum’s celebrated collection of art by the early twentieth-century American modernist Marsden Hartley. After extensive review and research in the collection, the artist selected Hartley’s homage to his friend and patron, the expatriate American literary luminary Gertrude Stein, One Portrait of One Woman as the core of her new piece. Building a glass vanity where Hartley’s portrait of Stein takes the place of the mirror, Lipman filled the cabinet with salient, oft-repeated, and reworked details that span Hartley’s long and peripatetic career. Lipman will be onsite installing the new work in the Weisman Art Museum galleries during the week of September 26. Visitors are invited to view One Portrait of One Man and talk with the artist. BETH LIPMAN Beth Lipman is a glass artist who is known for hand sculpted and blown re-imaginings of historical still life paintings. She has been artist in residence in numerous centers including the Kohler Art Center, Museum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington, and the Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass.

(HOUSTON, TX) February 13, 2020 – This spring, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) presents Breaking Tradition: Contemporary Approaches to the Decorative Arts. The exhibition features three artists— Sophie Glenn, Steven Young Lee, and Beth Lipman—who challenge the dominant cultural narratives of the decorative arts through unconventional furniture, porcelain, photography, and cast-metal pieces. Historically, the decorative arts prize a strict hierarchy of material and technique set forth by a select group of arts professionals and collectors. HCCC Curator Kathryn Hall says the artists in this exhibition disrupt assumptions about the genre's history, by making it relatable to a broader audience: “By recontextualizing traditional archetypes, patterns, and decorative motifs in a modern world, these three artists look critically at how they identify with these cultural artifacts." Furnituremaker Sophie Glenn challenges conventions of traditional fine furniture through her innovative use of material and technique.

II). The other members of the working group were Peter Galison (Harvard University, USA), Caroline A. Jones (MIT, USA and Wissenschafts- kolleg zu Berlin, Germany), Joseph Koerner (University College London, UK), Antoine Picon (Ecole des Ponts et Chausées, Paris, France), Joel Snyder (University of Chicago, USA), Simon Schaffer (University of Cambridge, UK), and Norton Wise (UCLA, USA). The group met three times in Berlin to discuss various versions of members’ essays and, more generally, the place of material culture in the history of science and the history of art. The nine essays, including the two that appear here as a preprint, will be published as a volume by Zone Books. A complete table of contents is appended to this preprint. The aim of the research project was to go beyond cases of historical interactions between art and science to investigate tools (e.g. drawing) and challenges (e.g. representation) common to both. In the case of the working group on “Things that Talk”, the departure point was a shared perplexity about how to capture the thingness of things in our respective disciplines.
