WELCOME Dear Friends, We are delighted to welcome you to the 19th Annual Glass Auction & Gala! Your support empowers today’s students to become tomorrow’s leaders through the National Liberty Museum’s education and outreach programs. The need for these programs is greater than we ever imagined when the Museum was founded nineteen years ago. The young people who are impacted by our work become independent leaders, thoughtful problem solvers, and passionate changemakers in their communities and beyond.
LETTER
Our programs include our yearlong Young Heroes Outreach Program (YHOP) offered at no cost to under-resourced schools throughout Philadelphia and the region. YHOP focuses on the rights and responsibilities of freedom and how good character and social awareness are the foundations of liberty. Program evaluations have demonstrated significant, sustained changes in young people’s attitudes and behaviors. Beyond YHOP, NLM offers Museum Learning Experiences and interactive group tours to ignite each student’s power to Live Like A Hero. 100% of the proceeds from tonight’s Glass Auction & Gala support those programs. It’s because of your generosity that we’ve been able to serve more than 500,000 young people and 850,000 visitors with our effective programs. We’re proud to honor our 2018 Heroes of Liberty Bruce & Robbi Toll and Bill O’Flanagan & Michelle Toll, who have been generous friends of the Museum for many years. Their support and involvement have made a significant impact on our mission. We hope you have an unforgettable evening and are inspired by the work of the National Liberty Museum. Sincerely,
Gwen Borowsky CEO

thank you to our sponsor gift artist APRIL WAGNER Born in Muskegon, Michigan, a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan, April grew up enjoying many summers on sandy white beaches. A natural artist, her interests in form, color, and line were apparent since early childhood. Her talent allowed her to receive a scholarship to Interlochen Arts Academy, an exclusive private high school for the arts, helping her get a jump start on her career. After a couple of years at a school in New York April came to Detroit where she graduated with a BFA in 1996 from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI. She has been blowing glass for 21 years. She owns epiphany studios in Pontiac, MI, the largest private hot glass blowing studio in the Midwest. Her work is shown in galleries worldwide and is featured in numerous public, private, and corporate collections, including GM, Pfizer, Strategic Staffing Solutions, The Townsend Hotel, and The Four Seasons Resorts. April was featured as one of Crain’s Detroit Business’s 40 under 40 honorees for 2005. She has served on the Alumni Board for the College for Creative Studies and the Founders Junior Council Board for the DIA. More information about this talented artist can be found at www.epiphanyglass.com. We are delighted to present our 2018 Glass Auction Sponsors at the Emerald Level and higher with a beautiful piece created by April Wagner.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL LIBERTY MUSEUM The National Liberty Museum brings liberty to life through stories of people whose character and courage have expanded liberty for all. The Museum’s exhibits, educational experiences, and public programs inspire visitors to think about liberty as an ongoing human quest that we all share. Glass artwork is featured throughout the Museum alongside the names, faces, and stories of people who have made an impact. Unlike anywhere else in the world, we use glass as a teaching tool to reflect on the internal strengths that make someone a hero. However, characteristics like empathy, integrity, and courage can’t always be seen. At the NLM, glass artwork becomes an interpretive vehicle to visualize the concepts that are the driving forces of freedom. The intersection comes to life in our newly redesigned Flame Gallery, unveiled in spring 2018. Designed by Dale Chihuly, our 21-foot Flame of Liberty is now part of an immersive experience of imagery and sound that is ignited by action. As visitors physically engage with the Flame, the sculpture shines higher and brighter, connecting the individual to their own power to Live Like A Hero. This experiential exhibit is just the beginning of a new chapter of 21st-century learning at the National Liberty Museum.

EDUCATION In addition to conducting educational tours for groups that visit the Museum, our Education Department facilitates outreach programs at schools, professional development workshops for educators, diversity and inclusion training for adult professionals, and annual awards programs that recognize everyday heroes who have demonstrated outstanding citizenship. Our educators are a skilled and creative team dedicated to teaching our next generation civic responsibility and positive character. In 2011, our educators piloted the Young Heroes Outreach Program (YHOP) in two Philadelphia schools, bringing our curriculum to underserved communities with intensive, yearlong training for both students and teachers. Now entering its eighth year, this effective civic leadership program has grown to 20 schools and impacted more than 5,000 students and their teachers in Philadelphia and Delaware. In post-program surveys of the students involved in last year’s program, 99% of faculty advisors reported that their students experienced transformative growth as an outcome of the program. A recently completed independent evaluation of YHOP confirmed its positive impact on students’ learning of core values like empathy, responsibility, respect, integrity, and courage. The study concluded that YHOP can make a long-term positive impact on students’ behavior and achievement. “The National Liberty Museum taught me that you can be a hero no matter what age, what size, or what race you are.” - 4th grader, Marshall St. Elementary School

heroes of liberty BRUCE & ROBBI TOLL AND MICHELLE TOLL AND BILL O’FLANAGAN
The National Liberty Museum (NLM) is delighted to recognize Bruce & Robbi Toll, and Bill O’Flanagan & Michelle Toll as our 2018 Heroes of Liberty. It is with great pleasure that we present the Heroes of Liberty award this evening to Robbi, Bruce, Michelle and Bill, a family whose support and caring involvement have made a significant impact on the Museum’s mission. Every day at the NLM, our educators teach young people the personal qualities that are critical to the health and well-being of liberty, such as leadership, responsibility, empathy, integrity and active citizenship. Over the decades, Bruce, Robbi, Bill and Michelle have demonstrated those very attributes through their professional work and their many civic and charitable activities that have benefited our communities. 10
Bruce and Robbi have supported the NLM’s mission for more than 20 years. Most notably, they helped to launch our Awards of Valor program, a prestigious annual award recognizing outstanding police, firefighters and first responders throughout the Delaware Valley. All too often these heroes are recognized posthumously, and so the mission of the awards is to recognize living first responders who are inspirational role models and have demonstrated through their actions compassion, selfless service toward others, integrity and courage. Thanks to Bruce, the Awards of Valor program was originally sponsored by Reedman Toll Auto World. Each year, the Award has grown in stature and size. Today, the Awards of Valor program is in its 13th year and has honored thousands of police, firefighters and first responders from throughout the Mid-Atlantic area. Bruce’s son-in-law Bill O’Flanagan is President of Reedman Toll and has been the driving force behind the Awards of Valor program since its inaugural year in 2005. Every year, Bill participates in the awards ceremony on stage and bestows the honors on courageous heroes throughout our region. Bill was instrumental in expanding the sponsorship of the Awards of Valor program from one auto dealership to 53 dealers who make up the Philly Area Chevy Dealers LMA serving the Philadelphia area, Delaware and southern New Jersey. In doing so, the program has taken a giant leap forward in geographic reach, impact and visibility. The NLM is thankful to Bill and to all of the participating Chevy dealers not only for their generosity, but also for the way in which they actively promote and participate in the annual awards at their individual dealerships. Tonight, on behalf of a grateful community, we are honored to recognize a family that has made a remarkable imprint on the work of the National Liberty Museum. Thank you for being such wonderful friends to the Museum. We are delighted to be joined by many members of the Toll and O’Flanagan families, as well as friends and associates who have generously supported our event and have traveled from near and far to be with us. The proceeds we raise this evening will make it possible for us to serve thousands of students with our education and outreach programs helping foster the next generations of civic leaders. Please bid like a hero, and enjoy your evening! 11

MICHELLE TOLL AND BILL O’FLANAGAN Bill has been the President of Reedman-Toll Auto World since the dealership was purchased in June of 2004. Originally an attorney, Bill was a criminal prosecutor for the District Attorney’s office in New York City for five years and was a special inspector general for the New York State court system before assuming the leadership of Reedman-Toll. As an attorney in the criminal justice system, Bill had countless experiences with first responders and got to know many of them personally. He developed a profound admiration for those who are called to duty and who every day ‘do the right thing’ on behalf of others, often at great personal sacrifice. Bill has managed the day to day operations at Reedman Toll since 2004. Under his leadership the dealership has become one of the most successful franchises in the country. For the past 11 years, Reedman Toll has sold the most Chevrolet & Chrysler Dodge Jeep vehicles in Pennsylvania. Under Bill’s direction, the dealership 14
has added three franchises, transformed its 123-acre property, and undergone a complete culture change among its over 300 employees, along with revitalizing its sales, service and customer experience. In 2011, Bill and his wife Michelle opened their own Chevrolet dealership in Springfield, PA. In 2013, Bill opened a second new Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership with Bruce in Abington, PA.

thank you, glass artists Glass artwork is central to the identity of the National Liberty Museum. Our work would not be possible without the generosity of these incredible artists. Thank you to this year’s donating artists and all who have supported the NLM since the day our doors opened. In addition to supporting the NLM’s education and outreach programs, our annual Glass Auction & Gala also supports the growth of contemporary glass art and creates opportunities to curate exhibits and public programming at the Museum’s GlassAccess Gallery. In 2017 we held two groundbreaking exhibits, The Treachery of Images: A Glass Pipe Exhibition and Transparency: An LGBTQ+ Glass Art Exhibition. This year, we presented SOUND + VISION: Exploring Music Through Glass Art and SPACELAB: An Interstellar Exhibit of Glass Art. Thank you for your support.

ABOUT Stanislav Libenský & Jaroslava Brychtová
Stanislav Libenský (1921 - 2002) and Jaroslava Brychtová (1924) are world-renown Czech artists who created some of the defining cast glass sculptures and architectural installations of the 20th century. During a life and artistic partnership, which lasted almost 50 years, they explored the optical and physical aspects of glass to develop a body of work concerning form, light and color. Their sculptural legacy ranges from luminous geometry to spiritual figuration. Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova pioneered, explored, developed, and defined glass as a medium for sculpture. The two worked well together because he was trained as a painter and she as a sculptor. Their art explores ideas about space, transparency, and volume, and it communicates emotion and energy through color and light. Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova’s sculptures were cast using a technique called mold melting, in which chunks of glass are allowed to soften and melt into molds inside a large kiln. The political turmoil after the 1948 Communist coup, and the show trials and purges of important pre-World War II artists virtually wiped out abstract art. But it allowed the Libenskys a professional freedom. The Communist-era construction boom demanded massive sculptures to beautify the new palaces of the proletariat, a boon for glass artists, because, Mr. Libensky said, ‘’the state didn’t see glass as art.’’ Since their work was innovative art that did nothing to glorify socialism, it slid in to the exhibition as a piece of architecture. ‘’Art went in through the back door,’’ Ms. Brychtova said. This was true until a piece they made for for the Osaka World’s Fair, in Japan. Inspired by the Prague Spring reform Communist movement in the mid-1960’s, Libensky and Brychtova created a piece titled The River of Life. They were forced to sand off the boot prints from the piece because it seemed to represent the occupation of Russian and/or German occupation of their homeland, which Libensky and Brychtova lived through for most of their lives. Osaka secured the Libenskys’ international reputation, but it also guaranteed that the Communists would never again allow them such exposure. On their return to Czechoslovakia, the Libenskys were interrogated, expelled from the party and for some years forbidden to travel abroad. Some Czech glass artists were able to study in Mr. Libensky’s studio and cast their work at Ms. Brychtova’s atelier; today a generation of them owes their careers to the couple. The Libenskys’ influence has been particularly strong in the United States, where they first visited in the mid-1980’s to teach at the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School near Seattle.

how the auction works 1. BID CARDS AND BIDDING NUMBERS When you check in you will be given a bid card. All sales will be recorded and tracked using the bidder number printed on your card. If you registered to come with a guest, you and your guest will share the same bidder number unless you requested otherwise in your registration form. See Silent and Live Auction sections for information on the bidding process.
available bid amount on the form, but may skip ahead to a higher bid amount. If you emerge as the highest bidder at the close of the auction, your bid constitutes a legal contract to purchase the item.
2. EXPRESSPAY™ You will be offered ExpressPay™ service when you check in. By registering for ExpressPay,™ you can avoid standing in line to pay for and collect your purchases at the end of the night.
3c. GUARANTEED PURCHASE To guarantee that you are the successful bidder on a silent auction item, enter your bid number in the box next to the “Buy It Now!” amount. This instantly makes you the owner of the item. No additional bids will be accepted.
To sign up for ExpressPay,™ provide our registration assistant with your Visa, MasterCard, American Express or a signed check made out to National Liberty Museum. This information will be kept on file for the evening and at the close of the auction your purchases will be totaled and charged as directed. When you are ready to leave the auction, proceed directly to the ExpressPay™ Art Pick-Up station to collect your purchases and leave the auction without having to stop at the cashier. For your convenience, a copy of the bid sheet for each item you purchase will be delivered to you at your table during the live auction. We will mail you a statement of your purchases in the week following the event. If you do not purchase any items, your charge slip or check will be marked void and returned to you by mail. 3. SILENT AUCTION 3a. BIDDING The silent auction opens at 5:00pm. Each item offered in the silent auction will have a bid form adjacent to it. To place a bid, write your bidder number on the form opposite the amount you want to bid. Please press hard - you are making three copies. You do not have to take the next 124
3b. MINIMUM BID A minimum bid amount has been established for each silent auction item. You may not bid below this amount.
3d. SILENT AUCTION CLOSING You may bid on any item in that silent auction section until that section is closed. At the posted closing time, a silent auctioneer will circle the top bid on each form and collect the forms. A notice announcing the successful bidder will be left by each item so that you may check on the bidding results. In the event of a dispute over a silent auction bid, oral bids may be taken at the discretion of the silent auctioneer, but only from those who have already placed written bids. The silent auctioneer will make the final decision as to the successful bid. 4. LIVE AUCTION You may preview all live auction items beginning at 5pm. To ensure that the auction concludes at a reasonable hour, the live auction will begin during dinner and continue without interruption until all items have been auctioned. To bid in the live auction, hold your bid card up high with the number toward the auctioneer. Either the auctioneer or a bid spotter can accept your bid.
The auctioneer will set bidding increments and reserves the right to reject any bid which is merely a fractional advance over the previous bid. The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be deemed a legal agreement and constitute the bidder as the purchaser of the lot. 5. PAYMENT AND REMOVAL Cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express will be accepted as payment. Successful ExpressPay™ bidders will receive a copy of the bid form at their table shortly after the close of bidding for the item. Bidders may then proceed to the Pick-up Station, collect their purchases, and depart. If you are not using ExpressPay™, you may stop at the cashier anytime after 9 pm to receive a statement of your purchases and make your payment. You may then proceed to the Pick-up Station. All purchases are final and must be paid for and removed from the premises before the end of the evening. Items which are not removed will be shipped to the purchaser at the purchaser’s expense. No exchanges or refunds will be allowed. 6. SALES TAX AND DEDUCTABILITY The National Liberty Museum is a registered 501c3 charitable organization. If the price you pay for a piece exceeds the fair market value of the piece as stated in the auction catalog, the excess portion of the price may be deductible as a charitable contribution.

Glass glossary Acid-etching: Refers to the cutting away of the glass surface with the use of hydrofluoric acid to create designs or textures. Caneworking: Cane refers to rods of glass with color and can be comprised of a single color or multiple colors arranged in a pattern. These rods are used to add intricate patterns such as stripes, twists or images to other glass objects.
Fusing: The joining of glass in a kiln. The temperature and length of time heat is applied can be altered to achieve a variety of glass effects.
Cold shop: A glassworking studio where non-heat related glass processes called coldworking techniques (see below) take place.
Gather: A gob of molten glass that is gathered from a pot or furnace onto the end of a blowpipe (hollow metal rod) or punty rod (solid metal rod).
Coldworking techniques: The processes by which glass is cut, carved, engraved, polished or etched. The equipment used may include machinery such as lathes, diamond saws, various “lapping� wheels and sanders, drills and grinders, in addition to hand tools and abrasive files, sponges and papers.
Glassblowing: The forming of glass by inflation; air is blown through a metal tube or blowpipe into a molten mass of glass attached to the opposite end of the pipe.
Enameling: Glass enamel consists of finely ground colored glass that is mixed with a binder, applied with a brush or by other means and heat-fused onto a glass surface. Engraving: The process by which glass is incised with shallow or deep cuts using a variety of methods. Engraving tools include copper wheels and others made from diamonds, stone, and metal. Loose abrasives such as aluminum oxide are also used for sandblast engraving.

either in a glory hole or furnace. 2) Fins of glass that ooze into mold cracks during a kiln process. The solidified flashing is generally removed when a casting is coldworked.
Flashing: 1) The reheating of a furnaceworked piece (blown or hot-sculpted in the hot shop) during the forming process to make the glass more pliable so it can be further manipulated. Flashing happens
Glory hole: A high-temperature chamber in the hot shop that is used for reheating glass during the forming process so that it can be further manipulated. Graal technique: A glassblowing process by which a glass object is made by building up several layers of colored glass. The cooled forms are carved to reveal the various color layers. Hot shop: A glassworking studio that contains a glass furnace, glory hole, annealers (kilns that cool glass), etc. – all tools necessary to work glass in its molten state such as for glassblowing, sand-casting and solid-sculpting. Iridized glass: Glass whose surface has been chemically treated to create an iridescent appearance. A metallic lustre is either been sprayed (while the glass object
is hot) or applied and fused in a kiln. Ancient glass may also exhibit an iridescent surface due to decomposition caused by proximity to moisture. Kiln: Insulated chamber for heating and cooling glass. Kilnforming: The processes used to form and shape glass in a kiln. The basic processes include fusing, slumping, and kiln-casting. Lampworking: Also referred to as torchworking or flameworking, this process involves the manipulation of glass rods in a torch flame and is most frequently employed to create small, intricate glass forms.
Overlay: The process by which a bubble is blown with color on the inside. The bottom of the bubble is attached to a solid core and then turned inside out, leaving a thin color on the outside. Pâte de verre: A term that translates as glass paste and refers to the kiln-casting process inspired by ancient Egyptian cast glass objects, but coined in the 1860s in southern France. The traditional technique involves the melting of colored glass powders that have been mixed with gum Arabic in a mold. Punty rod: A solid metal rod used in the glassblowing process when the introduction of air is no longer or not necessary.
Leaded glass: Glass sections that have been connected and secured using lead cane (strips of lead that are soldered together), as in stained glass.
Sandblasting: A type of glass engraving or abrading process through which sand is propelled by pressurized air onto a glass surface in order to create texture or a design.
Lost-wax casting: The process by which wax models are invested or molded in a heat-resistant plaster-based material, from which the wax is melted or lost. The resulting mold cavity is most often filled with crushed glass, which is melted in a kiln to create a glass object replica of the original wax model.
Sand-casting: A glass forming technique in which molten glass is ladled into an open mold made from hard-packed sand. Sandcast glass objects retain a rough-textured granular surface where the sand has come in contact with the hot-poured glass.
Millefiore: The Italian term meaning “thousand flowers,” that describes the cane slices used in a variety of glassworking applications – most commonly seen in paperweights.
Slumping: A kilnforming technique through which glass moves either over or into a mold using heat and gravity.
Mosaic glass: Glass objects that are created by the fusing multiple preformed glass elements (shards, cane sections, etc.). 127
