Tony Kuepfer

Tony Kuepfer (born 1947 in Portland, Oregon)[1] is an American-New Zealand glass artist.

He studied at Portland State University before moving to Inglewood, in Taranaki, New Zealand in 1974. Here, Kuepfer and his wife converted an old church into a studio, glass furnaces and a showroom.[2] According to Stuart Park, Kuepfer ‘continued at Inglewood for nearly 15 years, and provided many New Zealanders with their first chance to buy studio glass and to see it being made.’[3] He has exhibited with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts.[4]

His work is held in the collections of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the Aigantighe Art Museum in Timaru.[5][6]
