Alex Fekete was born in what was then Czechoslovakia and first arrived in the U.S. on a Fulbright Scholarship in 1992. He received his MFA from the University of Illinois two years later. His affair with sculpted glass started around the same time, coming into clearer focus over the last decade. Fekete’s glass has been shown at SOFA Chicago and New York, Glassweekend at WheatonArts, Crafts America and CraftBoston Shows, National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and K-Gallery in Bratislava, Slovakia. His glass has appeared in New Glass Review, American Style, and most recently in the book Art Glass Today. It received the Excellence Award, Ohio Designer Craftsmen; Best Sculpture Award, Mitchel Museum, IL; Award of Excellence, Westchester Craft Show; Cohn Family Trust prize, Philadelphia Museum of Art craft show; and Excellence in Glass Award, West Palm Beach Craft Show.
