I had the pleasure of participating in an exciting and enlightening media day trip to the Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG) in Corning, NY to preview a breathtaking new commission for the Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective.

The Corning Museum of Glass is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of glass, tracing 35 centuries of glassmaking history, artistry and technology. During the trip, we had the opportunity to meet Einar and Jamex de la Torre, see their upcoming collection and preview the exhibition with the CMoG curator.

The CMoG commission is one of the de la Torre brothers’ largest works to date at 12 feet in diameter. Inspired by Aztec calendar stones, the wall-mounted, circular sculpture will be composed of multicolored blown glass pieces created in CMoG’s Amphitheater Hot Shop, combined with other found elements.
