"Call for Entries: New Glass Review 21"
1999-07-23 until 1999-10-15
Corning Museum of Glass
Corning, NY,
USA United States of America
Each year, The Corning Museum of Glass
conducts a worldwide competition to select
100 slides of innovative works in glass. A
committee drawn from designers, artists,
museum directors, curators, and critics will
make the selection. The publication is
intended to keep its audience, which
includes museums, artists, libraries,
collectors, scholars, and dealers, informed
of recent developments in the field. Objects
considered excellent from any of several
viewpoints-such as function, subject matter,
esthetics, and technique-will be chosen.
The objects selected will be published in
color with the names of the makers and
brief descriptions of the pieces.
All glassmakers, artists, designers, and companies are invited to participate
in New Glass Review 21. Only glass designed and made during 1999 may be
submitted for this annual survey.
Participants are requested to complete the
attached form, submitting a total of three (3)
slides illustrating one work or design series
per slide.
Slides must be standard 35 mm, 2 x 2
(5.1 cm x 5.1 cm) size, of pieces
designed and made during 1999; they
should be clearly labeled with
identification number and title. Please
indicate the top of each work.
Backgrounds will be cropped at the
discretion of the editor unless
otherwise indicated on the slide by the
glassmaker. The quality of the review
depends upon the quality of the slides;
each slide should be suitable for
reproduction. All slides become the
property of The Corning Museum of
Glass and will be added to its
collection, the worlds most
comprehensive visual record of
contemporary glass. This collection is
used extensively by scholars, dealers,
collectors, and glass artists, and is
therefore of considerable potential
value to you. We encourage all artists
and companies to enter.
Beginning in 1999, the New
Glass Review competition
will be judged during the
first week of December. All
entries, accompanied by a
$15.00 U.S. entry fee*, must
be postmarked no later
than October 15, 1999, and
