==Biography==
Born in Accra in what was then the Gold Coast (present-day Ghana), Glover did teacher training at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi (1957–58), before winning a scholarship to study textile design at London's Central School of Art and Design (1959–62).〔 He returned to Ghana to teach for a while, before another scholarship, given by Kwame Nkrumah, enabled Glover to study art education at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (1964–65), where he began to use the tool that shaped his technique when his teacher suggested a palette knife to apply paint, rather than brushes.〔 Glover went on to further his education in the US, first at Kent State University, where he earned his master's degree, and then at Ohio State University〔David Owusu-Ansah, ("Glover, Ablade (1934–)" ), ''Historical Dictionary of Ghana'', Rowman & Littlefield, 2014, p. 158.〕 where he was awarded a PhD in 1974.〔〔
Returning to Ghana after receiving his doctorate, Glover taught for the next two decades at the College of Art in the University of Kumasi, becoming Department Head and College Dean.〔
In 1998, he received the Flagstar Award by ACRAG (the Arts Critics and Reviewers Association of Ghana), and was also honoured with the distinguished alumni award from the African-American Institute in New York. He founded the Accra-based Artists Alliance Gallery,〔(Artists Alliance Gallery ) on Facebook.〕〔Daniel Nielson, ("Interview: Ablade Glover — Drawing on Ghanaian life" ), ''Time Out Accra''.〕 which has roots in an earlier gallery he founded in the 1960s and in its new incarnation was opened by Kofi Annan in 2008.〔Safia Dickersbach, ("Ablade Glover — The Black Stars of Ghana" ), ''Modern Ghana'', 29 August 2013.〕 As well as being an outlet for Glover's own work, this gallery features the work of other significant artists such as Owusu-Ankomah and George O. Hughes, together with collectible local artifacts.〔Daniel Nielson, ("Artists Alliance Gallery, Labadi" ), Time Out Accra'', 15 July 2013.〕
