Abstract:

"This volume also features essays by Andrew Page, editor of Glass Quarterly, Michael Petty, artist and Director of MOCA, London, and Heike Brachlow, MPhil research student at the Royal College of Art, which invariably focus on the history of the studio glass revolution, the deployment of colour, light and transparency in glass and the increasingly complex relationship between the 'artist' and the 'craftsman' and its subsequent implications for perceptions of the medium"

"Contemporary Glass is an essential guide to an arts and craft scene that is both departing from, and building on its origins, while formulating new directions within whichpractitioners can work."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary

Contemporary Glass profiles over sixty contemporary glassmakers working today, examining the ever increasing ways that the technical and conceptual boundaries of glass design are being challenged and merged with art and fashion. Featuring and inspiring collection of work by international artists, both emerging and established, including Angus M Powers, Beth Lipman, Fred Wilson, Ingrid Nord, Minako Shirakura and Tobias Rehberger and many more. Contemporary Glass presents essays that focus on the history of glass, from as early as 3000 BC, when it was traditionally used as a pottery glaze, through to contemporary glassmaking techniques. Further essays introduce the new approaches that contemporary makers are adopting and examines the direction in which this medium is presently moving, whilst addressing some of the recurring concepts and themes prevalent in contemporary glass design. Contemporary Glass presents and authoritative overview of an arts and craft scene that is both departing from, and building on its origins, while forming new directions within which practitioners work and wherein their work is appreciated. 300 colour & b/w illustrations
