FILED UNDER: Art Market, Auction, News

Despite the challenging economic climate, the Pilchuck Glass School managed to raise $1.14 million, almost matching the $1.2 million raised in 2010. On the evening of October 14th, 2011, the 650 attendees at the Westin in downtown Seattle put aside the recent bad news from the stock markets to focus on the 40th anniversary of a unique glass school, and they showed their appreciation by bidding high on more than 350 works of glass art donated by top-tier and up-and-coming artists alike.
