Hamilton Gallery has an extensive collection
of glassware from the 1960s, encompassing
important American, European and Scandinavian
contemporary artists and movements. There
has been many significant acquisitions and
donations, particularly from Ron and Didi
Lowenstern, who developed the foundation of
the glass collection.
This exhibition reflects upon the psychedelic
1960s glass movement.
