The Judy and Bob Huret Glass Collection

by Vivien Hart
​
​GLANC had the pleasure of an invitation to see the Huret collection of glass by Judy and Bob Huret on the weekend of August 18th at their home in Belvedere. It was a wonderful setting along a marina with beautiful natural light showcasing an extensive glass collection dating back to 1984. 
 
Their first artwork was purchased in Boston by Judy. It is a clear and blue ethereal blown glass sculpture with what appears to be a water droplet suspended in air.

The couple have artwork from 13 different countries and carry pieces displaying a variety of glass techniques including blown glass, cast glass and flameworked glass.

This collection shares the work of some legendary artists such as Italian artist Lino Tagliapetra, Swedish artist Bertil Vallien and American artist Toots Zynsky. I particularly liked one of her more muted pieces called Adescare from 2004.
 
When I asked Judy if she would like to share anything about the art or the collection of the art, she said with all the negativity in the world today she appreciates supporting artists and their work as a way to bring more beauty and positivity into the world. I couldn’t agree with her more, and I think I speak on behalf of GLANC in thanking Judy and Bob for this wonderful glass art experience.
