Summary

This is a comprehensive and timely survey of the international art glass movement, exploring its dynamic history and its future as we enter the 21st century. The work of over 70 of the very best glass artists is featured, from Harvey Littleton and Erwin Eisch to the great practitioners of today such as Bertil Vallien and Dale Chihuly, including the work of many of the new generation of glass artists, some never-before published. Each entry describes the particular artist's training and working methods, their style, and their work. A revealing introduction describes the 40 years of conceptual and technological advances that brought about this explosion of artistic creation in glass. Illustrated with 300 superb pieces of glass art, Artists in Glass is a stunning resource for today's glass-makers, for design historians, and for collectors of this increasingly popular area of contemporary design.
