Condición: Sehr gut. 159 S. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Glass is a seductive medium and, ironically, it is its very seductiveness that tends to obscure the art made with it. Its sparkle may be mistaken for content and its beauty taken for artistic merit. Blessed with transparency and a captivating shine, glass can easily counterfeit precious gems -a property glassmakers have capitalized on since Egyptian times. Glass also has a simulacrum relating to its physical appearance. During the early Christian era, glass, when activated by sunlight, became a metaphor for God's own brilliance. This notion of conveying spirituality through the medium of glass is a leitmotif still evident today in the work of contemporary glass artists. The Glick collection of contemporary glass spans five decades of international studio-glass production from the 1950s to the 1990s. Featuring American, European, and one Japanese glass artist, the collection contains important works by many of the leading glass proponents working today. With a range of artists working in all of the techniques available now to the studio-glass artist, this collection affords an excellent opportunity to assess the state of studio glass at the close of the twentieth century.
