California-based glass artist Marvin Lipofsky (1938–2016) helped reinvent the challenging material of glass through experiments in scale, color, and technique. Presenting approximately 40 artworks, Marvin Lipofsky Blows Glass features the Crocker Art Museum’s collection of Lipofsky’s works, including 1960s sculptures from his California Loop Series and groupings of his signature open forms from later in the century and beyond that recall curves, shapes, and colors found in nature. Throughout his six-decade career, Lipofsky traveled to workshops worldwide, engaging in research and crafting new pieces with glass-blowing experts. His artworks serve as a testament to his journey towards deeper personal aesthetic expression and self-discovery. This exhibition will additionally feature his political sculptures and ephemera created in 1968 during the antiwar movement at the University of California, Berkeley.
