Toledo Museum of Art was the location for two glassblowing seminars in 1962, since known as the Toledo Workshops, that ignited a blaze of interest in glass as an artistic medium. Since those earliest days of the Studio Glass movement, color has been a definitive aspect of work in glass. A companion to the exhibition of the same name at the Toledo Museum of Art (June 14 August 26, 2012), this intriguing exploration of color in glass is generously illustrated with works by more than fifty artists. "Color Ignited" traces the cultural, historical, and technological influences that shaped artists attitudes towards the inherent chromatic qualities of glass and its expressive possibilities, from the art by accident approach of studio glass pioneers in the early 1960s to complex, conceptual installations by contemporary artists with international reach. © 2012 Toledo Museum of Art, 11.5 x 10.5 inches

It was the first time I saw a modern house. That was 1949." —Adele Leight The Leight House: The Home and Collections of Leonard and Adele Leight, could well have been titled Living with Art. In 1968, the Leights, who were then collectors of ceramics, built a stunning "modern" house in a spectacular wooded setting. Once the house was completed, the Leights began collecting studio art glass, a newly emerging field. Over forty years later, the Leights have assembled one of the foremost studio art glass collections in the United States. The glass collection is exquisitely situated throughout their home. Intermingled with the glass collection is their ceramic and furniture collection. Virtually everything in the house is a collector's piece. The Leight House is not only a room-by-room depiction of the Leights' collection and the architecture that displays it, but a story of how two people collaborated in building what is truly an exceptional home museum.
