Toots Zynsky Sold at Auction Prices

Painter

Mary Ann “Toots” Zynsky is a glass worker who began her career originally as a ceramics artist. In 1974 she received her B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design where so many artists converted to glass under the influence of Dale Chihuly. She also studied in Deer Isle, Maine, at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, pioneering new approaches to glass at the Pilchuck Glass School (which she helped found in 1971), as well as New York’s Experimental Glass Workshop where she was a teacher. For her sculpture in glass, Toots Zynksy developed a unique method of fusing thin strands of glass into colorful patterns slumped over and sculptured on molds or forms in a technique called 'filet de verre'. Toots developed her own complex equipment for this process whereby intense heat is applied under a lowered hood to the multicolored threads of glass while they melt and fuse. At the same time, Zynskz, who wears heat resistant helmet, gloves and insulated suit in order to make this possible, shapes the glass by hand. Timing is critical in this in order to stop the melt at just the right moment. Her work is dramatic as it shows a profound sense of coloring that ultimately comes from her knowledge of and affection for the art of painting.

  • Mary Ann "Toots" Zynsky Filet-de-Verre Glass Bowl
    Mar. 20, 2024

    Mary Ann "Toots" Zynsky Filet-de-Verre Glass Bowl

    Est: $8,000 - $12,000

    Mary Ann "Toots" Zynsky (American, b. 1951). Filet-de-verre fused and thermo-formed colored glass threads titled "Italian Chaos X" in the form of a colorful undulating bowl, 1995. Signed with a Z in one thread along the underside. With a lucite stand for display. Provenance: Elliott Brown Gallery, Seattle, 1995; Private Minnesota Collection. Lot Essay: Zynksy went by the name of "Toots" almost from birth. She was raised in Massachusetts and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1973. It was here she was one of a group of pioneering glass artists who studied with Dale Chihuly. In the summer of 1971, she accompanied Chihuly along with fellow RISD students and friends of Chihuly to Washington state where she would participate in the founding and early development of the Pilchuck Glass School. In 1980 she would become the assistant director and head of hte hot shop at the New York Experimental Glass Workshop in New York City, now known as UrbanGlass. While there she experimented with barbed wire and glass which eventually evolved into "spun glass" vessels. Her 1982 vessel titled "Clipped Grass" was her first foray into the use of the filet-de-verre technique she would pioneer and that would soon become her hallmark. Filet-de-verre involves pulling fine threads from a glass cane. She then layers thousands of these strands onto a round heat-resistant fiberboard plate. These threads are then fused inside a kiln. While still hot, the glass is allowed to slump over bowl-shaped forms. After the glass has achieved the desired shape, she then reaches into the kiln with heat-resistant gloves and squeezes the glass into unique undulating forms.
