COLLECTING
CONTEMPORARY ART GLASS

Art glass encompasses decorative glass objects crafted for artistic expression rather than practical use. This includes vases, sculptures, bowls, and stained glass, often distinguished by intricate designs, unique shapes, and vibrant colors. Studio glass, a significant movement within art glass, emerged in the mid-20th century, shifting glassmaking from mass production to personal artistic expression. Artists create one-of-a-kind or limited-edition pieces in small studios, employing techniques such as blowing, casting, fusing, and other creative techniques. Pioneered by Harvey Littleton and Dominick Labino, the Studio Glass Movement transformed glass art, making it more accessible to individual artists. This resource serves as a guide for collecting contemporary glass art.

Here, you'll find valuable resources to help you start or grow your collection, along with galleries specializing in art glass where you can explore and discover new artists. Think of this guide as a starting point for your journey into the world of fine art glass collecting.
