Description - Contemporary Glass Sculptures and Panels by Tina Oldknow

Glass is a unique material for sculpture because no other medium has its ability to change colour, texture, and, seemingly, mass. Contemporary Glass Sculptures and Panels presents the work of 68 artists in the collection of The Corning Museum of Glass; what this diverse group of established and emerging artists share is an experimental approach to glass that transcends the material's traditional association with the decorative arts. Through their investigations of material and ideas, they have encouraged the development of glass - throughout the late 20th century and into the early years of the 21st - as a medium for sculpture and painting. This generously illustrated volume features the work of a range of international artists, including Larry Bell, Howard Ben Tre, Dale Chihuly, Václav Cigler, Brian Clarke, Jun Kaneko and Robert Rauschenberg. SELLING POINTS: This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the vast collection of contemporary glass sculpture and stunning panels in this renowned Museum's collection ILLUSTRATIONS: 188 colour
