Broad Spectrum, Clear Vision: The Collection of Carl and Stephanie Beling

This stunning exhibition debuts a carefully curated selection of the extensive collection of contemporary glass sculptures that Drs. Carl and Stephanie Beling acquired over the course of a three-decade long adventure in collecting. In addition to collecting glass, Carl, under the tutelage of renowned glass artist Bertil Vallien, became an accomplished glass artist himself. A special selection of this exhibition highlights the work of Carl and Bertil and other prominent Swedish glass artists. In 2021, Stephanie Beling donated their entire collection to the Fort Wayne Museum of Art to enhance our efforts to create a world-class center for contemporary glass sculpture.

This exhibition is supported by the Edward D. and Ione Auer Foundation.
