Alan Kaplan discusses Paul Hollister’s admiration of both paperweights and modern glass. Oral history interview with Alan Kaplan by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, April 25, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:22.

Alan Kaplan: Paul liked paperweights. He also liked modern glass. You know, so where Paul Jokelson basically was a paperweight person, Paul Hollister had a much more diversified interest, probably more because he was an artist, so he could appreciate things that weren’t lampwork encased. You know, he could appreciate a lot of the blown glass. And in the early years, I mean, it was really the early evolution of the studio glass movement.
