Mark Peiser (b. 1938, USA)
Mark Peiser, an internationally known glass artist and innovator, is recognized for his uniquely individualized approaches and accomplishments. His continual investigation of the expressive implications of glass properties and processes have led to highly collected distinctive bodies of work: Opaque Image Vessels, Paperweight Vases, Innerspace Series, Forms of Consciousness, Cold Stream Cast Vessels, Palomar, Passages and Etudes Tableau series.
Peiser is a founder of the Glass Art Society, of which he is now an honorary member, and a leading presence in the Studio Glass Movement. He has exhibited worldwide and is in many public and private collections including the Asheville Art Museum, the Chrysler Museum of Art, The Corning Museum of Glass, the Glassmuseum Ebeltoft, the Lucerne Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, The Museum of Art and Design, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art among others.
Peiser was inducted into the College of Fellows of the American Craft Council (1988) and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (2004), the North Carolina Governor’s Award (2009), the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Glass Art Society (2010) and the North Carolina Living Treasure Award (2011). Most recently, he was awarded the prestigious Corning Specialty Glass Residency in 2019, a joint program offered by Corning Museum of Glass and Corning Incorporated.
