Sculpture, Glass, and American Museums

By Martha Drexler Lynn

In this lavishly illustrated volume, Martha Drexler Lynn takes the reader on a tour of glass sculpture in American museums. She covers 26 permanent collections across the United States, including The Corning Museum of Glass. Her survey of these museums reveals their lively interest in glass as an artistic medium, despite an earlier modernist bias. "Sculpture, Glass, and American Museums" will appeal to collectors, museums, critics, and art historians. Covering the work of such artists as Christopher Wilmarth, Howard Ben TrT, Lynda Benglis, and Stanislav Libensk², Lynn paints a portrait of a medium that is rapidly becoming an indispensable component of contemporary museum collections.
