Hank Murta Adams discusses a piece he made as an ode to Blenko. Oral history interview with Hank Murta Adams by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, June 7, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:47.

Hank Murta Adams: And I did a piece, actually, that’s in the Lowe Museum [Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida] in Florida, that was really kind of an ode to, not just Blenko itself, but to sort of that era, and to why it died, and it’s a large installation piece that I exhibited a couple places; one was upstate New York at a non-profit art center. And collectors named the Palleys [Myrna and Sheldon Palley] who have the Palley Pavilion at the Lowe Museum—it’s part of the University of Florida—University of Miami [Miami, Florida]—they bought that piece and it’s on display in their glass collection, which is kind of an odd place for it but it does have glass in it. But it really was an ode to why that era died in America.
