Clarine and Harvey Saks Collection

Lipofsky (1938 - ) had already obtained a degree in industrial design when, in 1964, he became one of Littleton's first students of glassmaking at the University of Wisconsin. That same year Lipofsky began a teaching career in the Bay Area, at the University of California, Berkeley, and the California College of Arts and Crafts. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Lipofsky has maintained his early interest in hot blown glass, and using that medium, he has produced abstract glass sculpture of rounded organic forms.
