Glass is a unique material for sculpture because no other medium has its ability to change color, texture, and, seemingly, mass. Contemporary Glass Sculptures and Panels presents the work of 68 artists in the collection of The Corning Museum of Glass; what this diverse group of established and emerging artists share is an experimental approach to glass that transcends the material's traditional association with the decorative arts. Through their investigations of material and ideas, they have encouraged the development of glass-throughout the late twentieth century and into the early years of the twenty-first century-as a medium for sculpture and painting. This generously illustrated volume features the work of a range of international artists, including Larry Bell, Howard Ben Tre, Dale Chihuly, Vaclav Cigler, Brian Clarke, Jun Kaneko, and Robert Rauschenberg.

From antiquity down to the modern era, glass has been an enduringly popular medium for artist expression. In "Contemporary Glass Sculptures And Panels", Tina Oldknow begins with an extended and informative essay titled 'Contemporary Sculptures and Stained and Painted Glass in The Corning Museum of Glass: An Overview' in which she provides an informed introduction of especial benefit for the non-specialist general reader. Then "Contemporary Glass Sculptures And Panels" showcases an extensive series of full color photographic plates providing a visually impressive and detailed images of captioned examples of glass sculptures and works of art taken from The Corning Museum of Glass collection. Of special note is the section devoted to succinct biographies of the artists who works are represented, along with an index of those artists. A work of impeccable research and scholarship, "Contemporary Glass Sculptures And Panels" is a welcome and highly prized addition to personal, community, and academic library Art Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
