Anne Gould Hauberg Collection

The Anne Gould Hauberg Collection records the influential artists and teachers who built the Pilchuck Glass School into a world-renowned center for glass art. Anne Gould Hauberg (1917–2016) was a revered collector and patron of the arts in the Northwest. She maintained many long and important friendships with some of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century including Dale Chihuly, Jack Lenor Larsen, and Mark Tobey. In 1971, Anne with her then-husband John and artist Dale Chihuly co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School.

Anne began collecting in the early 1940s when she returned to Seattle to be near her family during World War II while her husband served in the U.S. Army. In 1954, she commissioned numerous artists to decorate a new modernist home designed by Roland Terry. Later in 1984 for her new First Hill apartment, Anne commissioned architect Wendell Lovett to create a home that showcased her growing glass collection and hand-crafted furniture.

The Anne Gould Hauberg Collection at TAM includes 151 glass artworks. The collection is notable for its outstanding works by Chihuly. It also includes glass by such renowned artists as Flora C. Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick, Paul Marioni, Richard Marquis, William Morris, Italo Scanga, Therman Statom, Lino Tagliapietra, and Toots Zynsky. In addition to Chihuly, Anne also collected in depth works by her artist friends such as Nadine Kariya, James Minson, Ginny Ruffner, and Anna Skibska. The collection also includes some jewelry by Northwest artists as well as paintings.
