Wednesday, July 21, 2021 5:00pm - 6:00pm Free for members

Join James Fishburne, Director of Forest Lawn Museum and curator of Judson Studios: Stained Glass from Gothic to Street Style, for a virtual tour of the exhibition. Founded in 1897, the Los Angeles-based studio has been a leader in the field of stained glass for more than 120 years. The exhibition includes nearly 100 original stained glass artworks, preparatory drawings, archival photographs, oil paintings, and watercolors, many of which have never before been exhibited. Highlights of the exhibit include a hand-crafted window from Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1924 Ennis House, a fused glass portrait of Kobe Bryant, and earth-bound glass sculptures by conceptual artist Alice Wang that were made in collaboration with Judson Studios. James Fishburne is the Director of Forest Lawn Museum. In 2014 he earned his Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance art history from UCLA. He has taught courses on ancient Roman, Renaissance, and Baroque art history at UCLA, Pierce College, Valley College, and California State University, Long Beach. From 2015 through 2018 James worked at the Getty Research Institute where he developed and implemented programming for the Scholars Department. James joined Forest Lawn in 2018 and has curated multiple exhibitions, including “The Elevated Eye: Aerial Photography Past and Present” and “Judson Studios: Stained Glass from Gothic to Street Style.” |
