Exhibition at The Corning Museum of Glass, May 19, 2005 to October 30, 2005. The Tradition of the Avant-Garde traces the development of Modernism in Czech glass, looking at 19th- and early-20th-century glass made in the region known as “Bohemia” (now part of the Czech Republic).

Exhibition at The Corning Museum of Glass, June 15, 2005 to November 27, 2005. The exhibition featured a wide array of dazzling objects, including tour de force sculptures, that shed light on the innovations of Czech designers and artists who, working in the wake of World War II and under Communist rule, invented new ways of painting and creating sculptural forms in glass.
