Exhibition History

Art and Design from 1900 to Now
Jun 04, 2022 – Dec 01, 2030

Label copy

These glass and ceramic objects were made using traditional processes, innovative new technologies, and combinations of both. Jolie Ngo's clay vessel was digitally designed, 3-D printed, and hand-built before she hand-painted it with colorful glazes. Kevin Snipes hand-built this unconventionally shaped ceramic form to accommodate the narrative drawings that cover it. 

For Fiesta Macchia Bowl and other works in that series, Dale Chihuly fused vibrantly colored glass chips between layers of contrasting glass throughout the blowing process. Matthew Szösz approaches the concept of blown glass in unexpected ways: he layers and assembles individual pieces of flat glass, heats them in a kiln, and then inflates the flat stack into a vessel with fused seams. 

-Elizabeth A. Williams, David and Peggy Rockefeller Curator of Decorative Arts and Design
