- January 20 - Uncovering Islamic Glass - ZOOM
Dr. Carolyn Swan Needell
Carolyn and Richard Barry Curator of Glass
Chrysler Museum of Art
Tuesday, January 20, 6:30 PM
Brilliantly crafted glassware was made across the Islamic world, from the Iberian Peninsula to Central Asia, with the height of production taking place between the 9th and 14th centuries. Several museums around the world have stunning examples of Islamic glass in their collections and evidence from archaeological excavation provides fascinating insight into the creation and use of these objects. In the late 19th–early 20th centuries, European and American designers of decorative arts were enamored with Islamic artistry, and their own artistic output was often inspired by Islamic glass. This talk shares some highlights of the rich history of glass from the Islamic world.
