About the Exhibition:
OKCMOA recently acquired the Rose Family Glass Collection, comprised of more than 100 works of art by prominent members of the Studio Glass movement which emerged in the U.S. in the 1950s and continues to the present. This exhibition will present highlights from the collection demonstrating how artists have experimented with forms and techniques, stretching the medium of glass in surprising ways to create complex works of art. Click here to learn more about Highlights from the Rose Family Glass Collection, opening to the public on Saturday, September 3.
