500.525 Glass Art

This is an introduction to the diversity of talent displayed by glass artists.

A section on the historical background gives particular attention to 19th century developments by the artist industrialists Tiffany and Galle, to the 20th century activities that followed by individuals such as Marinot, and then on to the Studio Glass Movement in the 1960s.

A further section is devoted to glass making techniques and their application. The text is accompanied by notes on individual artists from many countries and by reproductions of their work.
