Tina Oldknow, Corning Museum's curator of modern glass.
Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass at the Corning Museum of Glass, will be in Manhattan next week to discuss the work of a French Art Nouveau master whose designs are considered by many to approach sculptural expression in glass decades before the Studio Glass movement.
Entitled “The Wizard of Nancy and His Successors: Glass, Contemporary Art, and Alchemy,” Oldknow’s talk will be a discussion of the life and work of Émile Gallé (1846 -1904), one of the major forces behind the Art Nouveau movement in France. Oldknow will be delivering her presentation on Tuesday, February 2nd, to the New York Metropolitan Glass Club, a group of collectors, dealers, and devotees of historic glass.
