Danish Glass
On its journey through the Danish „Glass landscape“ the Foundation came to know the concentrated force of the Danish potential - six ambitious artists with six different positions on this material represent a cross-section of the current Danish glass: Lene Bødker, Trine Drivsholm, Micha Karlslund, Pipaluk Lake, Tobias Møhl and Steffen Tast.
Barbara Nanning: Eternal Spring
For the Dutch female artist Barbara Nanning the nature with its manifold, often widespread world of shapes and colors is an almost inexhaustible source of inspiration. She created her new works in the stronghold of the glass industry Nový Bor in the Czech Republic. That way works with high aesthetics, brightness and haptic charm – all of them being messages of Barbara Nanning’s Eternal Spring.
New Acquisitions 2010

Special exhibition: Udo Zembok
Whether in the autonomous or in the applied arts Udo Zembok remains as an artist true to himself. Like nobody else he understands to preserve his color and forming language at all levels of his work – an universal idea combines his free sculptures and architecture-related objects.
Net, Rod, Thorn - View of Life and Poetry Contemporary Lamp Glass from five Nations
Lamp glass – over the past years this traditional type of glass has almost revolutionized by some artists, for example Mauro Bonaventura, Dafna Kaffeman, Richard Meitner, Steffen Orlowski, Olga Pusztay und Nadja Recknagel.

Neuerwerbungen 2009

Luminous Space
The neon works of the Berlin artist Julius Weiland have virtually a sensual emission.
The Glass Museum is paying attention to the young, ambitious artist Julius Weiland for the first time in an individual exhibition.The exhibition follows two aspects: It shows the way of Julius Weiland based on selected objects and displays it in the context of the collection.
Een eigenzinnige weg
The glass department at the Instituut voor Kunst en Ambacht in Mechelen, Belgium, has achieved a pioneering work, because there was no tradition in the free glass art and glass development prior to its foundation in the year 1985. The teachers and students at the IKA treat the artistic medium glass freely and self-consciously and are not bogged down - neither in classical craftsmanship traditions nor in artistic experiments.
Beyond Abstraction – More than you see
What can be discovered on the other side of the abstraction? The three artists from the Netherlands, Simsa Cho, Menno Jonker and Winnie Teschmacher, confront themselves with this task. What you do not see, they interpret with brilliant works in a completely different manner.

Shape-change: mugs, balloons and topped vessels
It is mostly mugs, bowls and topped vessels that come into being in Franz Xaver Höllers studio – yet not for usage.
Indeed, the shapes are borrowed from the familiar traditional glass for usage, but its sense he interprets anew. And that is what makes his work so fascinating.
