Glick, Marilyn, 1922-2012

Marilyn K. Glick sometimes called it her “addiction”—a love of studio glass artwork that began in the 1980s and blossomed over the decades into one of the nation’s most notable collections. She stoked her passion by meeting artists, traveling to their studios, and steeping herself in the traditions of the medium. Many of her most notable pieces, from such innovative artists as Dominick Labino and Bertil Vallien, are on display at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Her devotion to the future of the art form is also on display at Ball State, where a 2008 gift established by Marilyn and Eugene Glick, helped establish The Marilyn K. Glick Center for Glass.
