Jane Bruce talks about studio glass collectors. Oral history interview with Jane Bruce, March 22, 2018, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:46.

Jane Bruce: Yeah, I think during the eighties the prices did start going up. I still remember the first piece that ever hit six thousand dollars, which was actually a Mark Peiser piece, if I remember correctly. And there were collectors before then, and some very serious collectors. And what happened is in the eighties, towards the end of the eighties, the prices started going—and actually, unfortunately the early collectors actually got priced out of the field. And it was because the new collectors were much more wealthier. Some very wealthy collectors came in in the eighties. And the galleries—you know, the galleries pushed the prices up, of course, you know. Which is what they should do. It’s their business.
