| Summary: | "Modern glass has enjoyed ever more attention in recent years. It is a fascinating world unto itself--and a multivalent touchstone of contemporary art at the same time. The European Museum of Modern Glass in Rödental, Germany, is part of the Art Collections of the Veste Coburg, and houses a specialized collection that is renowned around the world. This catalogue presents works by more than 100 international artists from the permanent collection, with a focus on the 21st century. The great diversity of art glass is impressively conveyed by a selection of objects ranging from utilitarian glass to abstract pieces to figural sculptures to installations, all from the past 50 years. Individual chapters present the history of the museum's collection, the beginnings of the so-called studio glass movement, an overview of international glass centers, and an introduction to various techniques, such as flameworking, pâte de verre, and stained glass"--Front flap of cover. |
