Masters of Contemporary Glass: Selections from the Glick Collection

More than 70 objects by most of the major American and European artists working in glass today are reproduced and documented in this overview of the contemporary studio-glass movement. The nationally recognized Glick collection spans five decades of international studio-glass production from the 1950s to the 1990s. Full-color reproductions of works by noted American artists such as, Dale Chihuly, Marvin Lipofsky, Howard Ben Tre, and David Huchthausen and distinguished European artists such as, Bertil Vallien, Stanislav Libensky, and Frantisek Vizner are accompanied by detailed discussions of each artist's career and glassforming techniques. Martha Drexler Lynn's overview of the evolution of the studio-glass movement and explanations of glassforming techniques, including slumping, fusing, lampwork, cast glass, pete de verre, and lamination, make this richly illustrated catalog an important contribution to the study and enjoyment of contemporary glass art.

"... the metalcraft and jewelry of this overlooked and idiosyncratic artist-metalsmith... resonates with an uncommon personal passion." —W. Scott BraznellThis luxuriously illustrated catalog, the first survey of her life and work, reproduces seventy objects by Janet Payne Bowles (1872-1948), an Arts and Crafts jeweler and metalsmith who worked in Boston, New York, and Indianapolis and enjoyed an international reputation during her lifetime.

From 1547, when Ivan the Terrible declared himself tsar of Russia, to 1712, when Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg, one of the highlights of Moscow court life was the formal presentation of diplomatic gifts to the tsar. These fabulous offerings have been preserved intact in the Moscow Kremlin Armory, in a collection that cannot be matched by any other royal treasury in the world. 
Now many of these objects are published in this gloriously illustrated volume-the first in English on the subject-that accompanies a major exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Ranging from arms and armor and exquisite textiles to spectacular works in gold and silver, gifts received by the tsars are masterpieces of the decorative arts-and afford a fascinating glimpse of international relations during a period when Russia emerged as a world power.
