Marvin Lipofsky Survey 1969 - 2009
Today, we open our newest exhibition, featuring sculpture by Marvin Lipofsky. The opening reception, with the artist in attendance, will be held Thursday, September 10, from 5 to 7.30 pm. An exhibition catalog is available.
Featuring a range of artworks from 1969 through 2009, this exhibition is through October 31, and is concurrent with another exhibition of Lipofsky's work that opened in August (through October 3) at The Concourse Gallery, 555 California Street, San Francisco, California.
Marvin Lipofsky’s use of glass as a gestural artistic material helped to reinvent a centuries-old craft tradition as a Modernist art form. His sculptures crystallize a lifetime of travel and material investigation, as well as the sumptuous colors of the natural landscape, the visceral forms of the body, and the alchemical processes of manipulating blown glass. As an artist, educator, and inveterate traveler, Lipofsky has been an inspirational force throughout the international glass community for more than four decades.
Nowhere has Lipfosky's influence been greater than in the San Francisco Bay Area. After earning his MS and MFA in 1964 from the University of Wisconsin at Madison under the tutelage of Harvey Littleton, Lipofsky initiated glass programs at the University of California at Berkeley in 1964 and at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland in 1967 where he served as chair until 1987. Throughout decades of travel, Berkeley, California has been a consistent point of return for the artist, helping to establish the Bay Area as one of the preeminent centers of studio glass production.
Marvin Lipofsky has created work and led workshops at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design (Jerusalem, Israel), the Union of Bulgarian Artists (Sofia, Bulgaria), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (Deer Isle, Maine), Pilchuck Glass School (Stanwood, Washington), Fratelli Toso (Venice, Italy), and The Gerrit Rietveld Academie (The Netherlands) where he was the first Visiting Artist Critic.
His work can be found in over 90 collections worldwide including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, M. H. de Young Memorial Museum (San Francisco, CA), the Oakland Museum of California (Oakland, CA), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY), Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art (Sapporo, Japan), Detroit Institute of Art (Detroit, MI), Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia, PA), Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh, PA), Musée d’Art Contemporain (Skopje, Yugoslavia), Museum Für Kunsthandwek (Frankfurt, Germany), Umeleckoprumyslove Muzeum (Prague, Czech Republic), Auckland City Art Gallery (Auckland, New Zealand), All-Russia Decorative, Applied and Folk Art Museum (Moscow, Russia), and Renwick Gallery, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.). -Randall Miller, Micaëla Gallery

Phillip Hua - Ups and Downs!
Phillip Hua writes to us via his recent newsletter that despite it's ups and downs, he's enjoying a great year and hopes that it gets better! This month, check out San Francisco's 7x7 Magazine where he has a published image, and Interior Design Magazine, where his work is mentioned.
On another professionally successful note, we're proud to let you know that Hua answered the San Francisco Art Commission's call to artists for the Art in Storefronts Program.
Juried by the San Francisco Arts Commission and Triple Base Gallery, Hua's been selected as one of the artists to participate in the Art in Storefronts, a pilot program to temporarily place original art installations by San Francisco artists in vacant storefront windows.

Juried by the San Francisco Arts Commission and Triple Base Gallery, Hua's been selected as one of the artists to participate in the Art in Storefronts, a pilot program to temporarily place original art installations by San Francisco artists in vacant storefront windows.According to Luis R. Cancel, Director of Cultural Affairs for San Francisco, “This initiative is important for two reasons: it transforms vacant storefronts into attractive exhibition spaces and provides greater visibility to the creative community that calls San Francisco their home. Art in Storefronts recognizes the role that artists can play in promoting economic and community vibrancy.”
Hua's installation will launch in October on Central Market Street and will continue through January 2010. The location has not yet been announced, but details will come soon!
