Flo Perkins talks about first and second-generation studio glass collectors. Oral history interview with Flo Perkins by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, August 20, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:39.

Flo Perkins: But there’s—I don’t know where everybody’s selling their work, the collectors changed, because we were all on the beginning. This is interesting. We were all in on the beginning of this. So the collectors were competing with each other. So there was actually a real audience who knew who everyone was, how they were related, where they knew about all the artists. And eventually they got older, their children didn’t want their work or want the collections or carry it on. And the new collectors sort of wanted one piece by everybody famous—which a collection does not make, that doesn’t make a good collection in my book.
