The first, a cast portrait *** medallion of Louis XIV attributed to Ber- nard Perrot, documents an extraordinary moment in the history of East-West rela- tions. The medallion is painted and silvered, and it has an Asian hardwood frame in the style of 17th-century Siam. We know that, in 1686, Siamese ambassadors to the Sun King were presented with glass from Perrot’s workshop, and we suppose that the medal- lion was given to the ambassadors, taken back to King Phra Narai, and painted and framed in Siam. The second remarkable European acqui- sition is a Gothic-revival house altar made in Germany about 1845. The central glass panel, painted on both sides, is attributed to the Nazarene artist Heinrich Maria von Hess. It is framed by engraved panels signed by Franz Paul Zach, one of the greatest engravers of his day, and exquisite silver- stained ornament. The object is a tour de force. The Museum also acquired exceptional objects for the collection of American glass. They included an elaborate pressed fruit 2 basket with openwork sides, made by the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company be- tween 1845 and 1860. We also purchased a unique pressed glass windowpane that was probably made at Sandwich at about the same time. Among the objects made at Corning is a pitcher engraved with a por- trait of Thomas Hawkes by William H. Morse, a talented engraver who died young and whose work is consequently difficult to find. The object was acquired as a gift in part of Richard and Joan Randles, by exchange from Mrs. M. H. Riviere. The modern and contemporary glass ac- quisitions included Imprint of an Angel II by Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brych- tová. This monumental sculpture is one of the last series of works that Libenský and Brychtová made together, in 1999. The ac- quisition was made possible by donations from members of the Museum’s Ennion So- ciety. We also received a gift of more than Harlequin Vase, mold- 300 Steuben animals from Robert E. and blown, cased, cut. Czech- oslovakia, Nový Bor, Carol J.

Birmingham (England) Museum and Art Gallery, we received as a gift a complete, working example of an Owens bottle ma- chine, made by the Owens Bottle Machine Company in Toledo, Ohio, in 1912. As far as we know, it is the only surviving example of this revolutionary machine, which is des- tined to occupy center stage in our projected exhibition of glassmaking machines. *** Among the notable acquisitions made by the Rakow Research Library was a collec- tion of batch books and journals compiled by Arthur J. Nash (1849–1934) and his son Leslie, who made glass for Tiffany Studios. The batch recipes are written in code to prevent anyone from acquiring information that Arthur Nash regarded as proprietary. Other acquisitions include the research ar- chive of Glenn and Mary Lou Utt, experts on the life and work of René Lalique and authors of Lalique Perfume Bottles. 3 plemented “Beyond Venice” by exploring the impact of Venetian glassmaking on such contemporary masters as Chihuly, Marquis, Moore, and Lipofsky. “Animals in Glass” showcased animals represented on glass objects made in the course of 35 centuries, from 18th-Dynasty Egypt to the present day. Both exhibitions were drawn entirely from the Museum’s collection. The “mini” exhibition featured the Museum’s unique collection of replicas of the Portland Vase. Our 2003 West Bridge exhibition “Dec- ades in Glass: The ’50s” was shown at The Corning Incorporated Gallery at Steuben in New York City between June and October. During the year, we lent more than 100 objects to exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Among the exhibitions that in- cluded objects from Corning were “Ambro- gio e Agostino: Le sorgenti dell’Europa” in Milan, Italy; “Lustrous: A Centennial Cele- bration of Art Glass Designed by Frederick Carder” at the Albany Institute of History & Art in Albany, New York, Ball State Uni- versity Museum of Art in Muncie, Indiana, and Wichita Art Museum in Wichita, Kan- Drawing of what may be *** René Lalique’s earliest sas; “Picture This: Windows on the Ameri- perfume bottle design, Every year, in addition to the permanent can Home” at the Minnesota Historical a pendant simulating a exhibition, we aim to present one major, two Society in Saint Paul, Minnesota; and “Iraq Chinese snuff bottle, ink minor, and one or more “mini” temporary and China: Ceramics, Trade, and Innova- and watercolor on parch- exhibitions.

    The Chemistry Department 1946-2000 Written by: Edward M. Eyring Assisted by: April K. Heiselt & Kelly Erickson Henry Eyring and the Birth of a Graduate Program In January 1946, Dr. A. Ray Olpin, a physicist, took command of the University of Utah. He recruited a number of senior people to his administration who also became faculty members in various academic departments. Two of these administrators were chemists: Henry Eyring, a professor at Princeton University, and Carl J. Christensen, a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. In the year 2000, the Chemistry Department attempts to hire a distinguished senior faculty member by inviting him or her to teach a short course for several weeks as a visiting professor. The distinguished visitor gets the opportunity to become acquainted with the department and some of the aspects of Utah (skiing, national parks, geodes, etc.) and the faculty discover whether the visitor is someone they can live with. The hiring of Henry Eyring did not fit this mold because he was sought first and foremost to beef up the graduate program for the entire University rather than just to be a faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Had the Chemistry Department refused to accept Henry Eyring as a full professor, he probably would have been accepted by the Metallurgy Department, where he had a courtesy faculty appointment for many years. Sometime in early 1946, President Olpin visited Princeton, NJ, and offered Henry a position as the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Utah. Henry was in his scientific heyday having published two influential textbooks (Samuel Glasstone, Keith J.

  • The Influence of Lino Tagliapietra
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTEMPORARY GLASS AT INAUGURAL SILICON VALLEY ART FAIR: THE INFLUENCE OF LINO TAGLIAPIETRA Media Inquiries: Thursday, April 10-Sunday, April 13, 2014 at Silicon Valley Contemporary Art Fair Kristin Carlson McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California | Schantz Galleries Booth #410 Think All Day 505-501-2497 [email protected] SAN JOSE, CA—Schantz Galleries (Stockbridge, Massachusetts) is pleased to present new work by five top contemporary glass artists at the first annual Silicon Valley Contemporary Art Fair, April 10-13, 2014, Booth #410, McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The work of Lino Tagliapietra, Dante Marioni, John Kiley, David Walters, and Giles Bettison demonstrates that the intersection between technology and art precedes the digital age; cutting-edge science and innovative expression have long been synthesized in the discipline of glassmaking. Each of these artists has mastered and pushed the boundaries of traditional techniques, and achieved important advances in this time-honored art form. Italian glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra is acknowledged worldwide as one of the most influential glassmakers of our time; the other four artists in this exhibition have each studied and worked with Tagliapietra, and the broad scope of his influence in the field of glass art is evident in the far-reaching facets of their careers. Lino Tagliapietra, Africa, 2013, blown glass, 10.25 x 19.25 x 19.25.” Photo by Russell Johnson. LINO TAGLIAPIETRA: MAESTRO. Celebrating his 80th birthday this year, Lino Tagliapietra is one of the world’s most accomplished artists working with glass today. Tagliapietra has been an independent glass artist since 1989, exhibiting in museums internationally, receiving countless honors, openly sharing his extensive knowledge of the medium and his skill as one of its finest practitioners, and helping to create a new renaissance in studio glassmaking.
