Opening Exhibition

One of the opening exhibitions of the new Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. was an elaborate and extensive show highlighting Carder’s Steuben. This exhibition “The Glass of Frederick Carder,” ran from January 28, 1972, through January 6, 1974, and celebrated the publication of The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner, at that time curator of the Division of Ceramics and Glass of the national Museum of History and Technology at the Smithsonian Institution. Gardner’s book was the most definitive work to date about Carder and his glass. “The Glass of Frederick Carder” exhibition included 161 pieces representing the entire scope of Carder’s work. It hailed him as “a major figure in late-19th and 20th-century glassmaking.” p. 209, Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff.
