New Glass Review: a place of discovery and encounter
A flagship publication of The Corning Museum of Glass, New Glass Review grew out of a groundbreaking 1975 meeting with early leaders of Studio Glass who saw that a thriving field required a place of encounter, a place to discover the work of other artists, designers, collectors, museums, and enthusiasts. Four years later, after the exhibition New Glass: A Worldwide Survey brought Studio Glass to people across the United States and Europe, New Glass Review was founded.
Every year, the Museum launches a call for entries and anyone from a beginning student to an established artist can submit their work. Most years, the Museum receives around 1000 submissions from artists, designers, and organizations in more than 50 countries. These submissions are reviewed by a panel of curators, scholars, and artists, led by the Museum’s curator of postwar and contemporary glass or a guest curator. 100 images are ultimately selected for publication.
What appears in New Glass Review is not what is “best” in glass in a given year. Instead, it is a collection of works, chosen by individuals from across the worlds of glass, arranged to spark new ways to see and think about this incredible material and the people who use it expressively.
Each issue is an invitation to readers to encounter glass, to discover artists and ideas, and to participate in the field as it unfolds. Please join us!
Each issue of New Glass Review features:
- an exhibition-in-print featuring 100 images
- essays from the selectors on the perspectives they bring
- a feature on the Museum’s Rakow Commission recipient
- a review of recent acquisitions by Museums worldwide
