Isabel De Obaldía Awarded by Corning Museum of Glass

We are proud to announce that MAMFA artist Isabel De Obaldía is the recipient of the 2009 Rakow Commission award from the Corning Museum of Glass. Made possible through the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Leonard S. Rakow, this award encourages artists working in glass to venture into new areas that they might otherwise be unable to explore. The commission is currently awarded to artists whose work is not yet represented in the Corning Museum’s collection. Past recipients include such well-known figures as Howard Ben Tré, Toots Zynsky, Jiri Harcuba, and Lino Tagliapietra, as well as emerging and established artists from around the world.

To fulfil this commission De Obaldía has created a new work, "Rey del Cenote" (left) that will become part of the permanent collection of the museum and be on permanent view in their galleries. The work will also be featured on the cover of New Glass Review, and in the Corning Museum’s annual report.
