5 out of 5 stars A celebration of a brittle subject   October 15, 2001
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a beautifully printed book for those who want to see the best in contemporary studio glass. The seventy eight works shown were donated to the Detroit Institute of Arts by Aviva and Jack Robinson. Bonita Fike contributes a short essay on studio glass from the sixties.

Considering how fragile glass it is amazing how these artists create such wonderful shapes and textures. I love the vase by Stephen Powell (page 61) and the Karl Schantz's colorful 'Urban Rainbow' (page68) made from vitrolite glass.

The back of the book includes a comprehensive artists biography and book list.
