For the first time in its 3,500-year history, glass production, that had been limited to factory settings, moved to the artists' studios and became a part of an academic program in the fine arts. Since then, glass has become the fastest growing studio art medium throughout the world. This book takes us from the first workshop in a Toledo, Ohio garage, to reveal decade by decade the unprecedented growth of studio glass. Through high-quality, detailed images and stories, this retrospective of 50 top artists is a collector's dream. Noted art dealer Ferdinand Hampson offers a unique perspective on this exciting evolution.
In this history of the first 50 years of American studio glass, Hampson, an art dealer whose Habatat Galleries in Michigan have long been noted for their exhibitions of studio glass, selects 50 representative artists who have contributed to the evolution of the medium. He traces this genre from Harvey Littleton's first workshop which produced studio glass as fine art rather than for industrial purposes, its diverse styles and collectors. Featured artists include Dale Chihuly, Robin Grebe, Dominick Labino, Debora Moore, Paul Stankard, and Toots Zynsky. Includes their comments, photographs, and a bibliography.
