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Erwin Eisch, and the great practitioners of today, among them Dante Marioni and Giles Bettison, and features previously unpublished work by new artists.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.

Edited by Marino Barovier e Carla Sonego. Milano, Skira 2019, cm.28,5x30,5, pp.480, 1000 illustrazioni a colori. legatura editoriale cartonata, sopraccoperta figurata a colori. Testo Inglese. English text. American artist Thomas Stearns (1936-2006) collaborated with the legendary Venini glassworks as a guest designer between 1960 and 1962. Stearns was the first American to design for Venini; he won a Fulbright Travel Grant, left Cranbrook Academy and showed up in Murano with plenty of new ideas for elegant, irregular blown-glass pieces (but absolutely no knowledge of the Italian language). Stearns' groundbreaking designs, characterized by asymmetrical forms and bold blocks of color, won the "Best of Show" award at the 1962 Venice Biennial, but proved too difficult to put into mass production-inadvertently preserving them as precious, limited-edition art objects.The latest in Skira's series of monographs on 20th-century glass, Thomas Stearns at Venini tells the fascinating story of Stearns' collaboration with the venerable Italian glassworks. An essential volume for collectors, scholars and dealers, the publication catalogs all of Stearns' production at Venini.
