The museum demanded that all replicas be destroyed. Because else they could be influencing the vintage glass market...........

So there they were, the artists and his students, smashing the beautiful glasses. I guess they were quite sad about this situation.

It is really so fucked up. It is stupid capitalist crap.

But while searching, i came across another glass artist in Amsterdam, Marc Barreda.

12 yrs ago we were both in a large group exhibition, that's where we met.

He is a professional glassblower as well, and can make all kinds of glass objects. So he did this project with a historian, about 'schertsglazen', fun glasses from a few centuries ago.
So he made, together with his students, replicas of the old glasses. Really cool!

I really appreciated this lovely article in today's Toronto Star on so many levels. It's about a painting of "a flock of flame-coloured sheep" that connected these two families across generations. The reflections on supporting independent artists are 💖 too.

"He returned a painting belonging to his late grandmother to the artist’s family and forged an unlikely friendship": https://www.thestar.com/life/together/2023/01/15/he-returned-a-painting-belonging-to-his-late-grandmother-to-the-artists-family-and-forged-an-unlikely-friendship.html

The Maya civilization created distinct artworks and fully developed a complex writing system before the Common Era. Their creativity was more advanced than many contemporary cultures of the Old World.

Showing some #MastoArt, this was post illness hence using gigantic felt tips to create this monochrome image of Nelson Mandela. With motor skills being limited and hands shaking like crazy, it's easy to draw like this at times.
