Ferdinand Hampson discusses Paul Hollister learning about studio glass at Habatat Galleries. Oral history interview with Ferdinand Hampson by Catherine Whalen and Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, January 3, 2020, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:42.

Ferdinand Hampson: It was my impression that he didn’t. I believe he had some exposure through the Heller Gallery—in New York. But somehow the exposure was limited. Well, mainly because I think he would go to the Heller Gallery primarily when they’d have paperweights—and so he wasn’t fully aware, I think, of all that was happening. The Heller Gallery at that time was at 608 Madison Avenue—it was—it must’ve been like 500 square feet. And Habatat was 3,000 square feet. So we could show a lot more things.
