Art Museum November
Josh Simpson: A Visionary Journey in Glass Opens
11:00 am
Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts
This retrospective exhibition of approximately 100 works, selected from Josh Simpson's personal collection, traces the journey of this self-taught master of glass, from his early traditional pieces to the spectacular multi-layered works of today. Highlights of the exhibit are a stunning group of
Flower Vases from the 1980s which are clear antecedents of the Inhabited Vases he makes
today, a group of Megaplanets from 1977 to the present, a spectacular Ruby Saturn, and a special group of his Tektites, made from glass that is chemically similar to meteorites. The exhibition will also feature other early and rarely seen glass sculptures, a special collection of his Red New Mexico glass, Copper Baskets, Iridescent Vases, Goblets, Perfume Bottles, Portals, and Inhabited Vases.
