Synopsis
The V&A Museum's international collection of contemporary glass includes work by some of the most important names in this dynamic art form. The wide range of the collection demonstrates the versatility of this popular medium. Superb photography, much of it newly commissioned, is accompanied by career profiles of the 60 international artists featured, including Dale Chihuly and William Morris from the USA, Tessa Clegg and David Reekie from the UK, Bernard Dejonghe from France, Klaus Moje from Australia, Ann Robinson from New Zealand and Yoshihiko Takahashi from Japan. The illustrations of artworks from 1990 onwards are illuminated by the artists' statements or contemporary critical comment. These are further contextualized by the introductory essay which summarizes the history of contemporary glass art and addresses frequently asked questions and misapprehensions about an art form that is often the subject of passionate debate.
For the serious collector and researcher the book also includes a complete list of artists and their work held in the V&A's leading collection.
