PAUL GARDNER DIES AT 85

By Claudia Levy April 13, 1994

Paul Vickers Gardner, 85, a leading authority on glass and ceramics who was the first glass curator at the Smithsonian Institution, died of a heart attack April 1 at Georgetown University Hospital. He was stricken at the Washington National Cathedral.

Dr. Gardner, who retired in 1977 as curator of the division of ceramics and glass of the National Museum of American History, was associated with the Smithsonian for more than 25 years. He brought contemporary artwork in glass into the Smithsonian collections and helped promote the work of young artists of the modern American studio glass movement. That movement was sparked in the early 1960s by the development of studio-scale glass furnaces. Dr. Gardner, a former designer at the Steuben and Corning Glass factories in upstate New York, was regarded as a cultural link to the factory-produced art glass artwork of the past. As a young man, he designed domestic products such as Pyrex ovenware and Charleroi tableware and worked as an assistant to Frederick Carder, a founder of Steuben Glass and later art director of Corning Glass. The two men collaborated on architectural glass as well as artworks. Dr. Gardner later wrote several books about glass, including Carder's work.

Dr. Gardner, a resident of Washington since the early 1950s, was a native of Castile, N.Y. He graduated from Alfred University, which recently named its glass technology education center in his honor. He received an honorary doctorate from the university, which is in Alfred, N.Y. Dr. Gardner served in the Navy during World War II. He attended the University of Miami briefly after the war and then joined the National Collection of Fine Arts in Washington. He worked to acquire 20th-century glass, which at the time was not was not well represented in the Smithsonian collection. After he retired, Dr. Gardner lectured about glass and was president of the Creative Glass Center of America at the Wheaton Village historical complex near Millersville, N.J., and a consultant to the Smithsonian.

He was a member of the Cosmos Club and of the building committee of the Washington National Cathedral, a fellow of the Corning Museum of Glass, a trustee of Alfred University and a member of the American Ceramics Circle, the American Guild of Organists, the Glass Art Society and the National Early American Glass Club.

He leaves no immediate survivors.

Paul Gardner, 85, Smithsonian Curator And Expert on Glass

By RICHARD D. LYONS

Published: April 14, 1994 New York Times

Paul V. Gardner, an international expert on ceramics and glass who for almost 30 years was the curator of those fields at the Smithsonian Institution, died on Friday. Mr. Gardner, who lived in Washington, was 85. He collapsed while attending Good Friday services at the Washington National Cathedral, to which he was a consultant on stained glass. He died at the Georgetown University Hospital.

In 1948 Mr. Gardner became the Smithsonian's first curator of ceramics and glass, working in the National Collection of Fine Arts. Later he organized and became the curator-in-charge of the Smithsonian's division of ceramics and glass in the Museum of History and Technology. He retired in 1977. Mr. Gardner's interest in glass began while he was a student in the school of ceramics at Alfred University. While there, he became an assistant to Frederick Carder, the founder of the Steuben Glass Works in Corning, N.Y., who later was the art director of Corning Glass.

In January the ceramics school, which is now part of the state university system, opened its Paul Vickers Gardner Glass Center, created to support education in glass art and glass technology. After graduation in 1930 with a degree in ceramic art, Mr. Gardner continued with the Steuben company, designing Pyrex ovenware and glass architectural details for the Empire State and the RCA Buildings in Manhattan. He served four years in the Navy as a gunnery instructor.

Mr. Gardner was the author of many articles about ceramics and glass as well as "The Glass of Frederick Carder" (1971).

He is survived by a niece, Bernita Howard of Seattle.

8 An obituary was published in Genesee County Express on 28 April 1994
