September 25, 2020
The Muskegon Museum of Art (MMA) presents Glass: Treasures from the Permanent Collection, a spectacular and immersive glass experience, on view now through Nov. 29. This exhibition displays an array of works from the museums collection of vintage and modern glass. This dramatic and colorful display of the MMAs decade-spanning collection of studio glass features works by many of the artists that defined the studio glass movement, including Dale Chihuly, Harvey Littleton, and Marvin Lipofsky, along with works made by todays new masters. Collections of vintage Tiffany and Steuben lamps and glasswork and pieces from the pioneering days of contemporary studio glass give visitors a glimpse into the changing technologies and interests that have shaped the glass movement. Glass also celebrates the legacy of C. Corcoran Corky Tuttle and her husband, Robert Tuttle, who introduced the museum and its supporters to studio glass and helped guide collecting. Through Corky, the MMA hosted internationally recognized glass artists Dante Marioni, Stephen Rolfe Powell, Benjamin Moore, Debora Moore, Sonja Blomdahl, Nancy Callan, and many others featured in this show.
