Contemporary Glass
by Ray Leier
|
Book Description
Although people have heated silica to form glass for thousands of
years, the contemporary art glass movement began with a simple
workshop just 40 years ago. In the interim, the movement has grown
into an international phenomenon, fueled by the drama of hot-glass
techniques and the beauty of frozen light and color in glass works
of art.
Contemporary Glass presents the work of artists important to the
early expansion of the field, as well as new artists who continue to
explore this most beautiful and demanding art medium.
