While earlier
modern glass masters such as Rene
Lalique, Louis Comfort Tiffany,
Emile Gallee, Carlo Scarpa and Paul
Venini were sought after for
important glass collections,
Beginning in the late 20th century,
glass started to become highly
collectable as art. The term Glass
art is used when
the glass objects created are not
primarily utilitarian but are
intended to make a sculptural or
decorative statement.
Specific approaches
include
stained glass, lampworking,
glass beadmaking,
glass casting,
glass fusing, and,
most notably,
glass blowing.
As a decorative and
functional medium,
glass was
extensively
developed in Great
ateliers like
Tiffany,
Lalique,
Daum,
Gallé, the
Corning schools
in upper New York
state, and
Steuben Glass Works
took glass art to
the highest levels.
Glass from
Murano (also known
as Venetian glass) is the result of
hundreds of years of refinement and
invention. While there are now more
hotshops and glass artists working
in Seattle, Murano is still held as
the real birthplace of modern glass
art.
