Blue Pumpkin
Michelle M.

My best friend took me to this Glass Pumpkin Patch, I loved how beautiful these glass figures are. My reason for minus one star is that parking is bad, the high prices of these pumpkins and the huge line to purchase them in. I was shocked at all the rich ladies that had their baskets full of these pumpkins that easily cost $125 each! The pumpkins are laid down on the grass all over the art center outside. It feels like you are at a real pumpkin patch. Just looking at these pumpkins you melt and really want one, their beauty is traumatizing as if they have a magic spell on them. I almost got a very teeny tiny pumpkin for $25, then I saw the long line and almost cried because I had to put my pumpkin back down next to the tree. So I at least got tons of pictures of this event target for the rich only. *tear*

If you love normal pumpkin patches this one will blow your mind. Every pumpkin here is made of glass! This was the first time I've ever attended the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch. This year was the 13th annual and I can see why it's been going on so long. The glass pumpkins here are hand-blown and absolutely amazing. The colors were so bright and beautiful and really made me feel the fall spirit. There were many different artists that provided pumpkins for the patch and I can say every artist contributed amazing pieces. The pumpkins were sold on Saturday and Sunday, but I know they were on exhibit during the week, along with glass-blowing demonstrations. I went on Sunday and was worried there would be a limited selection, but to my relief there were still hundreds of pumpkins to choose from. You could spend forever here trying to decide which to buy and change your mind a thousand times. I changed mine twice and settled on two. All pumpkins purchased help support local artists and assists the Bay Area Glass Institute and Palo Alto Art Center in keeping art alive. I can't wait to come back next year!!!

Beautiful but expensive glass pumpkin

So many colorful pumpkin to choose from ! Even if you don't want to buy one, I would recommend to visit once just to get glimpse of thousands of colorful glass pumpkins. I went there on saturday morning, and place was already crowded. I had to walk almost half a mile from parking lot. People were enthusiastically roaming around the garden with shopping basket. Make no mistake, Pumpkin were not at all cheap. With smallest one starting from 30$, I saw price tags of 125$, 250$, heck even 350 $ each. Minus one star for parking & very high pricing. Nevertheless it's worth a visit

The glass pumpkin patch art exhibit is worth visiting at least once. You get to see a couple hundred glass pumpkins sitting in the grass. It happens each year in October. For 2014, the viewing exhibition is October 7-10th. Then, the pumpkin sale happens on October 11-12.

Ask the Community - Great Glass Pumpkin Patch

Is there anything else to do during event? Like how during Xmas tree event there are street vendors, food etc...... I was wondering if it would be an event to walk around with kids and enjoy food etc....

It's just the glass pumpkins and the volunteers. Nothing else. They accept cash and credit only.

Walk-in & say hello to the front desk staff to get your center map via QR code and recommendations. * Exterior & interior architecture are beautiful in their own right, Rodin sculpture garden makes it even better. * Center is relatively compact but contains great range of collections - antiquities from around the world, 16th-18th century European art, modern 21st century, & more. Roaming the many halls is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Tip: Checkout their website for an overview of temporary exhibits and guest speakers.

It's a beautiful building and well laid out, it took us maybe an hour and a half to two hours to see most of the exhibits. They have a great collection of different eras and regions of art. Many artists I've heard of thought not their most famous paintings. I really enjoyed the modern gallery too. The highlight for me was the extensive collection of Rodin sculptures including details on how he constructed the spectacular "Gates of Hell" that is replicated outdoors. I visited the Rodin museum in Paris a long time ago and this collection, while small, was still really good and informative. I also love a good Richard Serra steel sculpture and there is one outdoors on the other side of the museum from the Rodin garden.

Qualia Contemporary Art Gallery is a welcoming breath of fresh air in a high tech heavy…read moremetropolitan area without much attention given to cultural developments. Ms Daxue Xu, the artistic director of the gallery, and the guest curator Professor Xiaoze Xie from Department of Art and Art History in Stanford have a keen sense for art works that reflect the current socio-political and cultural changes on the global stage with an emphasis on how the East and the West arrive at the same place from different starting points. The artworks selected for exhibitions express the artists' sentiments and thoughts in a lucid and poignant manner that it is hard for the audience not to be touched in some way. Ms Xu lives up to the apt name of the newly founded gallery. The first exhibition titled "Catastrophic Beauty: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene" curated by Professor Xie takes on an unanticipated angle of discovering beauty in catastrophe. Shang Yang is a leading avant-garde Chinese artist well versed in ink, oil and mixed media. Unlike his contemporaries who took on an idealist or disillusioned or cynical views on modernity in China, Shang Yang takes a less traversed path of bringing awareness to environmental impact of modernity by alluding to ancient ink paintings and socio-political objects. The Decay series exhibited is an extension of his signature Dong QiChang series in which his attenuated criticism towards environmental impact from modern reforms is directed towards the socio-political areana. The beauty lies in his tasteful manner of fusing ancient Chinese ink painting aesthetics and western styles. John Sabraw turned the environmental impact on its head by converting contaminated water into sustainable pigments used in his paintings reminiscent of Chinese ink wash techniques. The East and the West meet at multiple levels. The following solo exhibition highlighting Cate White and Sean Howe shifts gears to younger artists with contemporary styles. Cate White juxtaposes well known paintings with modern scenes of herself, her friends and family. Her stand on her self image, race and women's rights are vociferously displayed. The imaginative and childlike works of Sean Howe contrast the subtle messages on the impact of modernity on who we are and how we live. The most recent solo exhibition centers on foreign born American artists Stella Zhang and Yulia Pinkusevich. Stella Zhang was born into a Chinese artistic family, proficiently trained in traditional Chinese ink paintings since a young age. Her mature art works at times are in contemporary Western style; at times coalesce traditional Chinese aesthetics and philosophy with Western modern and postmodern styles. Her Internal Landscape series is a prime example of the latter. From a distance it resembles traditional ink landscape paintings. Close up one detects suggestions of human spine and nervous system with a vivid sense of qi flowing through - the ancient Chinse concept of energy source in all lives - brought about by heightened tension and release. An exemplary traditional Chinese ink landscape painting takes one to the ultimate state of serene transcendence. Stella Zhang's works are a captivating novel take leading one to an alternate transcendent state of aliveness, tension and release. Yulia Pinkusevich, a Ukrainian artist who lived through Cold War, expressed her intrigue of the dispassionate calculations of the impact of nuclear weapons with their calamitous implications in Isorithm series. The rationalization in the rational calculation of the damage by nuclear weapons is erringly tranquil in her works. There is this sense of dissociation watching chaos unfolding from the ruptures in Isorithm series that is perhaps too familiar to those traumatized by catastrophic events. This brings us back to the first exhibition where catastrophe meets beauty.

This is one of the world's most outstanding private assemblies of postwar American art, gifted by Bay Area collectors Harry W. "Hunk" and Mary Margaret "Moo" Anderson and their daughter Mary Patricia Anderson Pence, who looks more like Moo but acts like Hunk. The museum, which opened in 2014, houses 121 paintings and sculptures and is known for its focus on movements like Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, and Pop Art. The collection is celebrated for featuring canonical works by some of the 20th century's most significant American artists. Key figures and their works include: Jackson Pollock: The monumental drip painting "Lucifer," considered by many to be the outstanding drip painting still in private hands before it was gifted to Stanford. Mark Rothko: The signature color-field work, "Pink and White over Red." Clyfford Still: A large, imposing piece called "1957-J No. 1 (PH-142)." Richard Diebenkorn: Works like "Ocean Park #60," which displays his progression into abstract forms using geometric shapes and a subdued color palette. Other Masters: The collection also includes works by Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Philip Guston, Robert Motherwell, and Helen Frankenthaler. The museum building itself is spacious, which means it feels mostly like space. The coolest thing was the meticulous library that felt too nice to even touch. Be sure to see the Cantor Arts Museum next door. Random Notes: One exhibit had a music video by Nick Cave on repeat, which was annoying and a little out of place, echoing throughout the museum. Oddly, it was not the Nick Cave you are thinking off (i.e. Bad Seeds). It was a different Nick Cave. Which is weird. It's like saying "Oh, yeah, no, that painting of the flower over there is actually Georgia O'Queef." 1. One of the collection's anchor pieces, a major painting by Clyfford Still, was acquired a jockey who had won the famous 1950s television quiz show, "The $64,000 Question," and then retired to open an art gallery in San Francisco. 2. Mark Tansey's painting "Yosemite Falls (Homage to Watkins)" (1993), depicts the famous waterfall, but instead of falling water, the cascade is made up of cameras and tripods. I looked into an art textbook to try to interpret it and apparently it means I am gay.
