Marvin Lipofsky in the SF Examiner

April 25, 2009

"Fine art glass sculptors, such as the Dale Chihuly, and his proteges at the Pilchuk Glass School, line the Pacific Northwest from Washington, all the way down to Jamex and Einar de la Torre’s studios, traversing California’s southernmost border town and a sliver of Mexico. In between lies the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the richest repositories of award-winning glass sculpture in the world. Local glass artists such as Julie Alland, Elin Christopherson, Jaime Guerrero, Clifford Rainey, David Ruth, Randy Strong, Pamina Traylor, Chuck Vannatta, and Dana Zed, are but a few. The most exciting of these artists is Berkeley resident, Marvin Lipofsky, an internationally recognized, and understated, pioneer of the contemporary glass movement, whose sculpture and educational efforts over the past 40+ years are fundamental to establishing glass as a fine art medium."
