Drawing on interviews with 126 participants associated with the Pilchuck Glass School (in Washington State) during its 25-year history, the author documents its development and growth from a makeshift workshop of tents and treehouses to a comprehensive center for artists working in glass. The narrative is enhanced with an abundance of photos showing the location, the people, and the wide variety of glass art created there. This institutional history carefully written and attractively designed holds interest for a much wider audience than most such histories owing to the uniqueness of the place and to growing interest in glass art. 9.5x12.5" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the frontlines of the American Studio Glass Movement to the renowned studios of Cristallerie Daum, the Fenton Art Glass Company, Waterford Crystal, Herman Miller, and Steuben Glass, Dan Dailey’s glasswork has been in the public eye for the past four decades. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive look at his beautiful—and playful—oeuvre. Like his colleagues and predecessors Harvey Littleton and Dale Chihuly, Dailey’s work has been met with critical and popular acclaim at home as well as abroad, and collected by nearly fifty museums on three continents. His vibrant, humorous pieces draw upon his background in cartooning and training in nearly every glass technique, as well as a proficiency in metalwork—a blend of antic and innovation that continually pushes the medium forward. With a foreword by graphic designer Milton Glaser, an interview with the artist by Corning Museum curator Tina Oldknow, and an essay by William Warmus, this collection of over 400 works is an essential addition to any library.

By Tina Oldknow Each issue of New Glass Review, an annual publication of The Corning Museum of Glass, documents the works of 100 artists, who are selected by a jury from about 900 artist submissions. This book presents 200 photographs of contemporary glass that originally appeared in New Glass Review from 1980 to 2004. It is not, the author writes, "about what or who is best in glass. It is about what I think has been significant in the field and who I think has made an important contribution to it." Tina Oldknow, the Museum's curator of modern glass and a member of the New Glass Review jury since 2001, has re-examined the 2,500 works published during the Review's first quarter-century. The works she presents here emphasize "the excellence of the idea or function, as well as the high quality of the aesthetic or technique." The book includes a foreword by Thomas S. Buechner, the Corning Museum's first director and the founder of New Glass Review, and an alphabetical listing of the artists and the countries they represent. 247 Pages; Hardcover Published in 2005

25 Years of New Glass Review

Glass is a unique material for sculpture because no other medium has its ability to change color, 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 twentieth century and into the early years of the twenty-first century-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, Vaclav Cigler, Brian Clarke, Jun Kaneko, and Robert Rauschenberg.

Complimentary Contrasts: The Glass and Steel Sculptures of Albert Paley highlights the significance of glass in the work of the celebrated sculptor Albert Paley. Though best known for his large-scale metal sculptures, Paley has incorporated glass in many works for over a decade.After beginning his career as a jewelry maker, Paley soon transitioned to furniture and freestanding sculpture. In the 1970s, Paley delved into large, site-specific works that blurred the line between sculpture and architecture. Despite disparity in size, Paley's collective artworks display a synergy of forms and philosophy, favoring natural curves and lines that defy their rigid materials.In 1999 Paley was invited to Pilchuck Glass School to collaborate with artist Dante Marioni. His experience utilizing fire to manipulate metal translated naturally into his glass design and allowed him to embrace the new material with ease. Since this initial introduction, Paley has collaborated with a number of glass artists and created over a hundred sculptures incorporating glass.The first book to focus on Paley's glass and steel sculpture, Complimentary Contrasts includes approximately forty new sculptures created at the Museum of Glass in collaboration with Seattle-based glass sculptor Martin Blank. These sculptures will be supported by earlier works from Paley's personal collection. Thirty works on paper that illuminate Paley's process of incorporating glass in his sculpture are also illustrated. Collectively, the objects in this publication demonstrate a culmination of Paley's talents as a sculptor.
