Description:
In recent decades, glass sculpture has entered American museum collections in unprecedented numbers. A new phenomenon, this reflects new attitudes: an understanding that art making occurs in every medium, and a willingness to see sculptural glass as suitable for inclusion in museum collections.
In this lavishly illustrated volume, Martha Drexler Lynn takes the reader on a tour of glass sculpture in American museums. She covers twenty-six permanent collections across the United States. Her servey of these museums and their development of sculptural glass collections reveals their glass as an artistic medium. Lynn provides a portrait of a medium that is rapidly becoming an indispensable component of contemporary museum collections.
