Must read to learn about the women who participated in the Studio Glass Movement that will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2012. "This book is a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts,historians studying the studio glass movement, and especially aspiring young artists." [Inside book jacket] Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass is a national membership organization with over 500 members who have organized over 150 museum exhibits as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration; this publication should be in the book stores of all museums who are participating in this year long series.
