The Year in Review

Writing the introduction to our Annual Report provides me with an opportunity to look back on the many achievements of The Corning Museum of Glass this past year, the first full year that I have served as executive director. To observe the life of the Museum throughout the year, from the quiet of winter to the busy activity of summer, has been an enjoyable experience for me. The year 2012 was a year of remembrances and initiatives for the Museum. While some of these remem­brances were celebratory, one was a recount­ing of a local natural disaster. The initiatives were all exciting opportunities to share our Museum with broader audiences, both young and old, locally and globally.

The 50th Anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement

In 1962, a seminar on glassmaking was held at The Toledo Museum of Art. Led by Harvey Littleton and Dominick Labino, it was a semi­nal moment in the history of glass in America. It ushered in a new era of glassmaking on a smaller scale, outside the industrial dimensions of the factory, at the hands of aspiring artists eager to work with this new material. This anniversary was celebrated at our Museum in a variety of ways, and it became one of the backbones upon which we built our exhibi­tions and public programs in 2012. Two ex­hibitions, one on the Museum’s West Bridge and the other at the Rakow Research Library,

celebrated the achievements of Littleton and Labino. The Studio Glass movement’s anni­versary also dictated the theme of our annual Seminar on Glass, held in October. Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass, and Mary Mills, education programs manager, worked together to formulate an amazing slate of speakers—curators, artists, collectors, and dealers—all of whom played a role in the early years of the movement.

This American artistic endeavor was sup­ported and encouraged by artists in Europe. One of them, the German Erwin Eisch, was the subject of 2012’s “Masters of Studio Glass” exhibition. Eisch had grown up in a glassmaking family in Frauenau, a town with­in a region with a long and rich tradition of glassmaking on a large and small scale. He was one of the first European artists who pushed the material in new and unusual directions, and his work greatly influenced American art­ists. Juxtaposing Littleton’s and Eisch’s work within the Museum was a study in contrasts— an intriguing way to compare the youthful American approach to glass with an experi­enced European one.

A Summer of Making Ideas

“Making Ideas: Experiments in Design at GlassLab,” our major exhibition in 2012, celebrated the Museum’s GlassLab program. GlassLab introduces the medium of glass to designers, uniting them with glass artists in order to explore new product designs in glass. Begun in 2007, GlassLab has presented a roster of talented designers who moved across the hot­glass stage at such venues as the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, during Art Basel; Art Design /Art Basel in Miami; and Domaine de Boisbuchet in Lessac, France.

In the “Making Ideas” exhibition, curated by Tina Oldknow, the prototypes developed in these sessions over the years were show­cased for the public, unveiling the creative process behind the development and design of new consumer products in glass. Instead of a traditional exhibition catalog, Museum staff developed a GlassLab­focused Web site that provides ongoing updates as new GlassLab events take place around the world, and as new designers take part in our program. Simultane­ously, in celebration of a “summer of making ideas,” GlassLab sessions were held in Corning

for the first time and, in collaboration with the Cooper­Hewitt, National Design Museum, on Governors Island in New York City. Because of the Cooper­Hewitt’s nearby exhibit on graphic design, the Governors Island GlassLab sessions included graphic designers for the first time. Our presence on Governors Island led to a measurable uptick in visitation to the Museum from the New York City region, a sure sign of successful outreach.

At Home and Abroad

Other programs and initiatives expanded the Museum’s reach across the nation and around the globe. Our Hot Glass Roadshow had deployments from Florida to Michigan. These deployments are often an observer’s first experience of glassmaking, and these shows create an expanding body of fans of the Mu­seum. But our influence was felt not only on land, because the Museum also continues its collaboration with Celebrity Cruises. We es­timated that, during 2012, our glass artists reached our one millionth sea cruise guest since the launch of the Hot Glass at Sea pro­gram in 2007. In addition, Celebrity Solstice began a voyage in 2012 that progressed from the Mediterranean Sea to the shores of Aus­tralia and New Zealand, taking the Hot Glass Show back to Australia for the first time since our 2005 deployment.

I myself had an opportunity to experience the Hot Glass at Sea program in April, when

my family and I enjoyed an eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the Solstice before it set sail for the Mediterranean summer cruise season. In addition to delivering a lecture on ancient Roman glass, I narrated the show for other passengers with our three talented gaffers. I can now say from firsthand experience that it is quite a treat to view a Hot Glass show on the lawn deck of a ship traversing the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. My fellow passengers, as well as all passengers who enjoy such Celeb­rity cruises, are invited back to the Museum to see our home base of operations, and when they present their sea passes, they receive free admission for two.

The Museum’s relationship with Celebrity Cruises was deepened when one of our gaffers, Megan Mathie, was named one of four god­mothers for Celebrity’s newest Solstice­class ship, Celebrity Reflection. Along with other women whose lives have been touched by breast cancer, all of whom work with Celeb­rity Cruises in some capacity, Megan chris­tened the ship in a celebration in Miami on December 1, 2012. It was a great honor for Megan, and we are proud of the work that she has done to support breast cancer research by creating her “Hot Pink Glass Show” during her deployments at sea. Selected works creat­ed in that show, and in other hot­glass shows, are auctioned off at the end of each cruise to support breast cancer research, while others are sold to support our Studio scholarship program.

The Museum brings its GlassLab design program to Governors Island in celebration of a “summer of making ideas.”

Like our gaffers, our collections traveled the world in 2012. Loans from the glass col­lection were put on view at various venues across the United States, in Europe, and in Australia. Holdings from the Rakow Library also traveled the world, including material from our 2011 exhibition on the Museum’s 200­inch disk, which was re­created at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland, U.K., as part of the Cultural Olympiad, held during the 2012 Summer Games in London.

In addition to our staff traveling the world for glass, the Museum expanded our digital outreach by relaunching our Web site in Feb­ruary 2012. The greatly expanded site now includes information about our entire glass collection, the Rakow Library’s holdings, and other resources on glass. A visually rich expe­rience can take our virtual visitors through technical glassmaking videos, oral histories, live­streamed demonstrations from our Studio, and numerous written resources. This relaunch involved nearly every member of the Museum’s staff in its development and preparation, and was a significant achievement during the year. Our data indicate that we had 626,000 visitors to the new site, with 3.5 million unique page views. The Web site continues to expand with new content, blog entries, and program up­dates, so keep visiting. You’ll always find some­thing new to see and enjoy!

On the home front, the Museum continued to welcome guests both locally and from around the globe. In May, we installed the 44th annual Student Art Show, which included

selected works by students in area schools, from kindergarten through grade 12. Welcom­ing these aspiring artists and their families to our Museum was a thrill, and we are proud of our longstanding relationship with the schools in our community.

We also enjoyed a new collaboration with Watkins Glen International. For the first time, the Museum was invited to create a unique trophy for the winner of the Finger Lakes 355, a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Using the unique shape of the track and the iconic light blue color of its guardrails as sources of inspiration, the glass artist Eric Meek and his team designed an amazing glass trophy that celebrated some of the region’s signature ele­ments: the waterfalls of the Finger Lakes, our glassmaking tradition, and Watkins Glen In­ternational. Attending this race in August, my first NASCAR event, I had the distinct honor of awarding the trophy to Marcos Ambrose, winner of the Finger Lakes 355.

A regional natural disaster is commemorated in an ongoing exhibition at the Rakow Library.

“The Flood of ’72: Community, Collections, and Conservation” recalls the devastating flood of the Chemung River that occurred overnight on June 23, 1972. In addition to the tragic loss of life and the destruction of parts of the community, the floodwaters wreaked havoc on the Museum’s building, glass collec­tion, and Library holdings. The exhibition re­counts the events of the flood and the heroic efforts of the townspeople, Museum staff, and volunteers who worked to bring Corning back to life. The conservation work on the glass holdings was remarkable, and that on the rare books and other printed material at the Library set a new international standard, with practices that are still being followed today. These treatments were most recently employed with the arrival of Hurricane Sandy and its devastating effects on the waterfronts of New Jersey, New York, and further north. Luckily, Corning was spared, and our hearts and thoughts go out to all of those who have suffered as a result of this terrible natural dis­aster.

Business as Usual? Only in Corning

The traditional Museum activities took place throughout the year, resulting in spec­tacular new additions to the glass and Library collections. Principal among these were two

ancient glass pieces, one Roman and the other Egyptian. Our new Egyptian portrait inlay of Pharaoh Akhenaten is a stunning image of the king, and it captures the beauty of the artistic style that was introduced during his reign in the 14th century B.C. The Roman inlaid bowl with an imaginary scene of the flora and fauna of the Nile, including an eight­winged dragon­fly, is a type of vessel that was previously rep­resented in the collection only by fragments of similar works. Our new bowl is the only nearly intact example of this late Roman vessel style to survive from antiquity.

During the year, we published new schol­arly books, as well as our first children’s book, Paperweight Pals, a board book that intro­duces young children to 10 of our charming paperweights.

We welcomed several new Trustees. Randi L. Hewit, Charles L. Venable, and Susan M. Taylor joined the Board in May, bringing to the group expertise in community relations and the museum world. In addition, I was elected to the Association of Art Museum Directors, a community of museum directors from across North America who meet regularly to promote the importance of museums, and to establish standards by which we operate.

Our visitorship continues to grow, particu­larly in the segment of guests arriving on bus tours. Our programs, activities, and collection tours have kept pace with visitation, and we were delighted to see that 27 percent of our visitors engaged in hands­on glassmaking through our Make Your Own Glass program.

At The Studio, we welcomed more than 1,000 new and returning glass students, and worked with 10 artists in residence from around the globe. Our Education Department launched a new program for middle­school students, titled Junior Scientists. In collabora­tion with local middle­school science teachers and scientists from Corning Incorporat ed’s research facility, we developed a program of inquiry and activity to create a curriculum for students that focuses on the material of glass as an element of scientific study.

We mourn the loss in 2012 of two members of our Museum family: Ben W. Heineman Sr. and Axel von Saldern. Ben Heineman, a noted businessman, philanthropist, and supporter of the arts, died in August. Mr. Heineman touched our Museum in several ways: as a friend, as a Trustee, and as an avid collector of contemporary glass. Many of the pieces

from the collection he formed with his late wife, Natalie, grace the gallery that bears their family’s name. Axel von Saldern, a noted Ger­man scholar and curator, died in June. A mem­ber of the founding staff of the Museum, he spent the early years of his career working in Corning. His primary area of study was Islamic glass, but he was deeply knowledgeable about all of historical glass production. His expertise led to his election as one of the Museum’s Fel­lows, a group of noted scholars, collectors, and dealers of glass. His book on the Museum’s collection of German enameled glasses was one of the first publications on this topic in English, and it became a major contribution to this field of study. Both of these men will be missed.

Expansion and Renovation

The Museum ended 2011 in the midst of the architectural design phase for our North Wing expansion. In 2012, great leaps forward were made in finalizing the design, in breaking ground, and in preparing for the future. But even before the groundbreaking, there was renovation work afoot in the Museum, some of which involved improvements in existing facilities, and some of which was in prepara­tion for our new buildings. Our Café was completely redesigned, resulting in more space for our visitors to dine, a better kitchen for the culinary staff, and a sleek new servery, all

achieved in collaboration with HAIGH Archi­tects. Other facilities work included a newly designed loading dock for the glass collection, an essential element in any museum opera­tion, and the relocation of our small hot­glass stage to a room formerly used as an orienta­tion theater.

Inaugurated in July, the new stage was opened in a ceremony that included an honor guard of gaffers, both new and old, holding their blowpipes aloft; a military color guard; and, leading the entire parade, a band of bag­

pipers. The new Innovations Stage, on which our gaffers demonstrate and work, is a light­filled space with greater capacity, and it is adjacent to our Admissions Lobby. The new location for the stage was necessary because the old stage was attached to the former Steu­ben Glass factory, a part of the building slated for demolition and renovation.

Our official groundbreaking for the North Wing expansion took place on a beautiful sunny morning in June. With members of our Board of Trustees, leaders of our major donor Corning Incorporated, local and state poli­ticians, and members of the community in attend ance, we thrust spades into the soil to mark the onset of construction. We look for­ward to continued change as the new gallery building and hot­glass stage begin to emerge from the ground in 2013.

None of these many achievements could have taken place without the full support of our Board of Trustees, the hard work of our talented and dedicated staff, our army of tem­porary staff, and our volunteers and docents, who are so generous with their time and en­ergy. I thank them all for another remarkable year, and look forward, with them, to taking the Museum forward in 2013.

David Whitehouse, former executive direc­tor, died on February 17, 2013, following a brief battle with cancer. He was 71. David joined the Museum in 1984, and during his years in Corning, he became one of the world’s foremost authorities on ancient and Islamic glass. David stepped down as executive direc­tor and assumed a new role as the Museum’s senior scholar in 2011. At the time of his death, he was working on three publications related to ancient glass, which we plan to complete and publish in the next several years. During his tenure as executive director, the Museum underwent a major renovation and expansion, the Rakow Library’s holdings were nearly doubled, and The Studio was created. David will be sorely missed, both by the Museum staff and by his many colleagues and friends around the world. David’s obituary can be found on our Web site (www.cmog.org), and a scholarly obituary will appear in the 2013 volume of our Journal of Glass Studies.

Development and Member ship

Development

The Corning Museum of Glass gratefully acknowledges the many donors, Members, foundations, and corporate contributors that supported its initiatives in 2012. Fourteen new individuals and couples joined the Museum’s patron group, the Ennion Society, expanding the group to 136 households.

Ennion Society members donated $290,000 to the 2012 campaign. Funds from the Soci­ety were used to add two significant ancient objects to the Museum’s glass collection. The acquisition of a portrait inlay of Pharaoh Akhenaten was voted upon by members of the Directors, Curators, Sustainers, and Col­lectors Circles of the Society. A Roman inlaid bowl with a Nilotic scene was purchased in part with funds from Society members.

One of the highlights of the year was the annual Ennion Society dinner, held on October 17 in the Museum’s auditorium. Two hundred six members of the Society and guests attended the elegant event, which included a presenta­tion by Thomas Phifer, design architect of the Museum’s North Wing expansion. The dinner was graciously hosted by James B. Flaws, chair man of the Museum’s Board of Trustees, and his wife, Marcia D. Weber. The annual sale of glass objects raised $19,820 for The Studio’s Scholarship and Artist­in­Residence Fund, and a silent auction of unique experi­ences, new this year, raised $7,250 to fund visits to the Museum by students in area schools.

Additional Ennion Society events in 2012 included private dinners with “Meet the Artist and Astronaut” lecturers Josh Simpson and Cady Coleman, hosted by Marie McKee and Robert Cole Jr. at the Museum, and “Meet the Artist” lecturer Fritz Dreisbach, hosted by Richard and Judy Sphon at their home. Mem­bers also enjoyed a tour of the Museum’s spe­cial exhibition, “Making Ideas: Experiments in Design at GlassLab,” led by Tina Oldknow, as well as a reception for Rakow Commission recipient Steffen Dam, which included the un­veiling of Flower Block, a work consisting of glass blocks of soft, muted, seemingly organic forms stacked in rows and columns.

Other donations brought an additional $350,000 into the Museum’s glassmaking scholarship funds. These donations included proceeds of $255,650 from glass auctions on three of Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice­class ships, and $48,000 raised during the December Stu­dio Holiday Open House weekend.

Grants awarded in 2012 included $40,000 from the New York State Council on the Arts for 2013 general operating support, $25,000 from the Henry Luce Foundation to support a curatorial assistant to survey the Museum’s American glass collection, $12,500 from the F. M. Kirby Foundation for general operating support, $10,000 from The Dana Foundation for studio scholarships and equipment and supplies, $7,350 from The Triangle Fund to support The Studio’s cooperative glassblowing and flameworking program with the Corning–Painted Post High School Learning Center as

well as the Junior Scientists program, and $6,000 from The F. Ross and Laura Jean Birk­hill Family Foundation to create a processes and properties video.

At year­end, the Museum received a gener­ous donation of 24 glass objects from Ennion Society members Daniel Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser. Daniel and Susan, who live in Los Angeles, have been collecting contemporary glass since the late 1970s. In honor of the 50th year of the Studio Glass movement in the United States, Greenberg and Steinhauser be­gan dispersing their entire glass collection to art institutions around the country. Four other museums received glass objects: the Los Ange­les County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

The Museum greatly appreciates the gener­osity of our benefactors for glass and library acquisitions, education and Studio programs, and numerous special interests. We thank them all for their continued support.

Membership

The Museum’s membership program had a very successful year. We welcomed more than 930 new Members and recorded an 11­percent increase in Members upgrading to the Donor level and above. Our frontline associates in­form our visitors daily about membership benefits that encourage them to stay in touch with the Museum beyond their initial visit.

Among the highlights of our Members’ of­ferings in 2012 were opportunities to meet the noted glass artists Fritz Dreisbach and Erwin Eisch. Dreisbach is a studio glass pioneer and founder of the Glass Art Society, while Eisch was one of the founders of the Studio Glass movement in Europe. The Rakow Commis­sion honored the Danish artist Steffen Dam, who presented an illustrated talk on his work during the annual Seminar on Glass. Although Dam’s pieces are inspired by nature, he says that the specimens he creates are “plausible, but not from this world.” Receptions allowed Members to talk with all of these artists and to learn more about their work.

Members were also able to meet the artist Josh Simpson and the astronaut Cady Coleman, who visited the Museum in March. Coleman discussed some of her experiences, while Simp­son explained his “Infinity Planet” project, which places his small glass planets around the globe. A total of 160 Members attended the reception, and more than 300 people came to the lecture.

At the special Members’ opening of the year’s much­anticipated special exhibition, “Making Ideas: Experiments in Design at GlassLab,” Members and artists came together for an ex­citing evening. With Tina Oldknow, the Mu­seum’s curator of modern glass, Members watched a GlassLab design performance by the artist­glassmaker Eric Meek and the de­signer Paul Haigh. Members were also invited to submit their own designs. One of those de­signs, presented by Dr. Wayne C. Templer, a Corning resident, offered an “Atlantic Salmon Flies, Black Bar­Green Butt” design that Eric Meek proceeded to create in glass.

We are very grateful for the support of our Members. Our membership ranges from al­most all of the American states and Canadian provinces to Europe and China.

Operating Results

The Museum ended fiscal year 2012 with annual operating revenues exceeding operating expenses by $1.5 million. With close to $11 million in visitor revenues, other earned revenues (generated by The Studio, as well as by education, Member, and community programs), and Corning Incorporated’s continued financial support, the Museum was able to fund many key initiatives related to its Web presence, advances in curatorial staffing, the completion of the third volume of Dr. Robert H. Brill’s Chemical Analyses of Early Glasses, an extensive calendar of hot­glass outreach programs, facility improvements, and important additions to the glass collections. The abbreviated version of the Museum’s operating results shown below reflects 2012 year­end results for the general operations and acquisitions in comparison with last year.

2012 2011Total revenues and other funding $ 44,488 $ 39,751Total expenses and acquisitions 42,985 37,863Net cash surplus $ 1,503 $ 1,888

Other important results for 2012 were:

1. Museum visitation grew two percent above 2011 attendance to 407,000. A total of 364,000 guests toured the Museum in 2012. Individual and family visitation was down two percent from 2011, and tour groups were up 10 percent. In addition, 10,000 schoolchildren visited the Museum for curriculum­related tours, and 33,000 people attended a rich series of education programs and public programs.

2. Visitor revenues were up six percent over last year to $10.6 million. The GlassMarket team worked extremely hard to drive sales in a market that was mired in heavy discounting and free shipping. Overall, GlassMarket sales were half of the visitor revenues at $5.4 million, two percent ahead of 2011. The other major components of visitor revenues were: admissions of $2.9 million, which were up 13 percent because of the attend­ance and an increase in ticket prices; Make Your Own Glass experiences at The Studio of $1.2 million, which were up five percent, with nearly 57,000 guests making glass; and culi­nary services in the Café of $1.1 million, which was also a five­percent increase, despite the fact that the Café was closed all of the first quarter for a major renovation and rebuilding of the kitchen.

3. Total glass and library acquisitions were $3 million, and donations to the Museum’s collec­

tions were valued at $1.3 million.

4. Cash donations totaled $829,000 in 2012, based on a very strong year of development ac­tivities and donor support. Ennion Society members contributed $215,000 toward glass acquisitions, and the Fellows contributed $30,000 for library acquisitions. Glass auctions on Celebrity cruises raised $256,000 for Studio scholarships, and donors contributed an additional $135,000 for Studio scholarships and programs. Operating grants (detailed on pages 35–36) provided $72,000 in support of specific initiatives.

5. Also included in the 2012 financial results were increased contributions from Corning Incor­porated, equal to $2.3 million of administrative expenses that were related to the Museum’s ex pansion project costs. Expenses related to program services grew five percent, support services were up four percent (excluding the expansion­related administrative expenses), and acquisitions spending increased 74 percent to $3.4 million.

6. The Museum Operating Reserve Fund (MORF) balance at the end of the year was $24.4 million, up from $21.1 million at the end of last year. The fund recorded gains in investments of $2.2 million and received a deposit from prior­year surpluses of $1.1 million.

Looking Forward

The primary fiscal goals for the Museum remain preserving core mission operations, managing resources to the annual projected revenue, and ensuring the future stability of the institution by protecting the MORF.

In the midst of resources heavily devoted to planning a major expansion project, the Museum was able to have a very good 2012 and looks forward to all aspects of the Museum being open during construction in 2013 and 2014. With $1.3 million of the 2012 operating surplus and $1.1 million of previous surpluses being contributed to the MORF, the Museum is well positioned to move into 2013. The three-year strategic plan provides guidance for the 2013 budgeting process, and the operating budget has been set with expectations for continued growth in visitation, earned revenues, and support from Corning Incorporated. Operating and acquisition expenditures are expected to total $46 million, a six-percent increase over 2012.
