For five thousand years, artisans have worked in glass to create forms that serve and delight. But only recently have artists turned their hands and minds to this traditionally utilitarian and decorative material. Clearly Inspired: Contemporary Glass and Its Origins contrasts the work of contemporary glass artists with examples of earlier glass that have inspired them to rediscover or reinvent forgotten techniques. Transforming an ancient craft into a contemporary art, they honor the past while making visual statements that are very much of our time.

"Author Andrew Moor begins by answering the most basic questions: What is glass art? How are the different materials distinctive? How and by whom is glass art made and installed? What is the artist's role? What do terms such as "float glass," "kiln glass," "flash glass," and "dichroic glass" mean? The book then presents a detailed survey of glass types and styles, from the simplest clear glass to the most complicated colored, carved, etched, and painted works of art." "Architectural Glass Art takes the reader through all the techniques and styles available today. Illustrations not only focus on the works themselves, but show how glass art is incorporated into public and private spaces as an integral part of a building's structure and style. Each chapter includes a special feature on a highly regarded international glass artist; discussions of their innovative designs are accompanied by examples of their work." "Architectural Glass Art is an invaluable resource and inspiration for students, designers, artists, and architects - everyone interested in the latest developments in the contemporary, artistic uses of glass."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

South Florida is home to some of the world's premier private collections of studio glass, collections whose abundance, diversity, and quality are celebrated in Fire and Form. This volume features more than 100 works by 31 of the best-known American and European glass artists of our time, including Jaroslava Brychtova, Dale Chihuly, Dan Dailey, Stanislav Libensky, William Morris, Tom Patti, Lino Tagliapietra, and many others. William Warmus identifies four prominent themes in the relatively recent development of studio glass (since 1960) that provide a framework for exploring the rich variety of works presented in this book. The first theme is what Warmus has called the particular affinity between nature and the making of glass: Where nature creates a heart, the glass artist creates a heart-felt vessel. The second is the ability of glass, equally to that of painting and sculpture, to convey the power of abstraction and color. A third theme is the prevalent use of glass - sometimes called the new bronze - to depict the human figure and animal forms. The final section deals with the theatrical nature of installations and environmental sculptures, demonstrating the surprising capability of glass to impose itself physically and emotionally on the space we inhabit, altering our very perception of it. ancient Egypt, and places contemporary glass within the context of contemporary art and theory at large. In addition, the book includes selected artists' bibliographies and a chronological bibliography of contemporary glass that lists key historical events, general trends and developments, and important publications. Fire and Form offers a unique perspective on this vital and intoxicating medium, and its publication is a welcome event for all lovers of glass - those who make it, those who collect it, and those who admire it.

"Although the process of melting sand to make glass has been used for thousands of years, the contemporary "art glass movement" began with a single workshop just 40 years ago. In the decades since, the movement has grown into an international phenomenon, fueled by the drama of hot-glass techniques and the dazzling beauty of frozen light, color and form." "Contemporary Glass: Color, Light & Form presents 130 contemporary glass artists who produce functional and sculptural works. All of these men and women have made glass their primary medium."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

More than 590 brilliantly detailed photos capture the work of 112 glass artists and show the tremendous diversity, depth, and breadth of how this ancient medium is used in the twenty-first century. New and emerging glass artists are featured together with some well-known experts, and all of them challenge the boundaries of familiar techniques. Many of these artists also teach or continue research into the capabilities of glass. Many have won major awards; still others have been the subject of media attention; and many are mentors and leaders of contemporary glass art. Their towering installations, miniscule insects, glass kimonos, and more will inspire everyone interested in appreciating, working with, or collecting glass.
