October 8, 2009 Getty Villa
Over 180 ancient glass objects from the collection of Erwin Oppenländer are featured in this exhibition.The Oppenländer collection, which the Getty acquired in 2003, is remarkable for its cultural and chronological breadth. It includes works made in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Greek world, and the Roman Empire, and spans the entire period of ancient glass production, from its origins in Mesopotamia in about 2500 B.C. to Byzantine and Islamic glass of the eleventh century A.D. http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/molten_color/
