fused glass in NYC

Post by Leslie Ihde »

I'm going to NYC on Friday and wondered if anyone could suggest a gallery to see fused glass in- in SoHo or other places. Thanks.

Not fused but really nice- the Museum of the City of New York on Central Park West at 79th (?) St., just south of the American Museum of Natural History, facing Central Park, has a fabulous collection (Neustadt's) of Tiffany stuff.

Directly across the park on Fifth Ave. is the Metropolitan Museum of Art- you could spend weeks there.

Thanks, Marty, I'll check it out. I frequently go to the city, but I am deepening my search for fused galleries large and small now. I hope your work is going well.

Leslie- Barry Friedman and Leo Kaplan galleries have glass, usually interesting, sometimes fused. Go visit Urbanglass too.
There's a nice shop in Englewood NJ just over the GW Bridge called Mostly Glass.

Hi Leslie, you're a neighbor to me, relatively speaking. Given your location I'm guessing you've spent time at the Corning Museum. I keep meaning to spend about a week there, and that would probably be a good warm up. Have fun!

Hi Tony,

Yes, I've spent many an hour at Corning. One day you and I will meet.

Not at Heller, but I do have an exhibition running currently at BE Connection Gallery that I'm very excited about! New work: http://www.bullseyeconnectiongallery.com

Have a marvelous weekend in NYC - and would you post your discoveries when you return?
