Item Special Note
“I think of the fish as myself, keep doing, keep going and sometimes rest in the water, and also in the composition of the sculpture.”
Born in 1956 in Fukuoka, Japan, Hiroshi Yamano has been working with glass for over 25 years. He has studied at prestigious schools throughout the US and Japan, such as California College of Arts and Crafts, CA; Tokyo Glass Art Institute, Japan; and Rochester Institute of Technology, NY, where he received his Masters in Fine Arts.
Yamano began working with glass in 1975 having seen an exhibition of Scandinavian glass in Kyoto. After traveling to Europe, he returned to Japan to complete his studies. He spent the next two years studying glass. At California College of Arts and Crafts, under Marvin Lipofsky, he learned the creative aspects of glass, and at the Tokyo Glass Art Institute he learned the technical aspects of glass.
Yamano's list of exhibitions is as impressive as it is international. Venues include the United States, Japan, Switzerland, Germany and Australia. He has received numerous awards, most notably in 1991, The Rakow Commission, an award from The Corning Museum of Glass. His work appears in many collections, both public and private, including The Corning Museum of Glass, NY; Wheaton Glass Museum, NJ; and the Chrysler Museum, VA.
