"Contemporary Glass Among the Classics opens at the Chrysler Museum of Art on April 26, 2009. The exhibition continues through July 19, 2009.
The Chrysler will feature awe-inspiring glass installations from four contemporary artists: Katherine Gray, Stephen Knapp, Karen LaMonte, and Beth Lipman. The exhibition will present new works from each artist, focusing on each artist’s approach to the versatile material of glass, as they continue to explore centuries-old techniques and themes in art.
“We’ve chosen artists for this exhibition who have something to say,” says Kelly Conway, Curator of Glass at the Chrysler Museum of Art. “They use glass as a means of commenting on their own beliefs and how they see the world. The themes that resonate in their work are very relevant because they elicit a reaction. People will find some part of this exhibition and it will touch them—we hope it will make them more curious about the world and give them a fresh approach to art in the Museum’s permanent collection.”"
