Written by international glass expert Dan Klein, Artists in Glass
provides an up-to-date survey of the international art glass movement,
exploring its dynamic history, and looking to its future through the
lives and works of nearly 80 of the world's best glass artists. The book
includes both those who had a formative influence on the movement such
as Harvey Littleton and Erwin Eisch, and the great practitioners of
today, among them Dante Marioni and Giles Bettison, and features
previously unpublished work by new artists. The author explores each
artist in turn, discussing their influences, training, and technique
alongside an in-depth discussion of their work. An introduction provides
an overview of the art glass movement while a detailed glossary gives
explanations of key terms. Also included are a selective bibliography,
and details of galleries worldwide where glass art can be seen.
Illustrated with 300 superb pieces of glass, Artists in Glass provides a
stunning resource for today's glass-makers, design historians, and
collectors of this increasingly popular area of contemporary design.
