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.

History & Criticism

The art of Spain and Spanish America during the 17th century is overwhelmingly religious―it was intended to arouse wonder, devotion, and identification. Its forms and meanings are inextricably linked to the beliefs and religious practices of the people for whom it was made. In this groundbreaking book, scholars of art and religion look at new ways to understand the reception of use of these images in the practice of belief. As a result, the book argues for a fundamental reappraisal of the cultural role of the Church based on an analysis of the specific devotional and ritual contexts of Spanish art. 
Handsomely illustrated essays discuss paintings, polychrome sculptures, metalwork, and books. They call attention to the paradoxical nature of the most characteristic visual forms of Spanish Catholicism: material richness and external display as expressions of internal spirituality, strict doctrinal orthodoxy accompanied by artistic expression of surprising unconventionality, the calculated social projection of new devotional themes, and the divergence of popular religious practices from officially prescribed ones.
