Marvin Lipofsky

Using glass as an art form, Marvin Lipofsky has traveled since 1962 to research and collaborate with glass artists throughout the world. His abstract, organic, glass sculptures brilliantly portray a vibrant color palate, whether in splashes of spring color or the deep blue of the world’s oceans. Lipofsky captures his immediate response and reaction to the environment through his art. He continues to promote the glass movement by teaching and lecturing all over the world.
