Anthony Stern

Anthony Stern - born in Cambridge in 1944 and first started making films while at Cambridge University, working as assistant to the avant-garde documentary film maker Peter Whitehead - Stern went on to win awards for cinematography at the Oberhausen, Melbourne & Sydney Film festival. He also made the ground breaking experimental films ‘Serendipity' and ‘Ain't Misbehavin'”, pioneering the use of 16 mm single frame cinematography in the late 1960's.
Further pursuing his fascination with colour and materials through which light passes Stern is a world-renowned award winning glass maker. His work is included in the collections of Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Elton John, the Saudi Royal Family, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Barclays Bank, Morgan Stanley, the Nomura Group, Sir Derek Jacobi, and the Broadfield House Glass Museum, to name but a few.
" I have made glass my first language. I can express an endless variety of ideas and thoughts from the functional
and prosaic to lyrical, healing and mystical."
