This is a fascinating exploration of the ways in which artists have pushed glass beyond its traditional boundaries to create works of stunning originality and innovation. Over the centuries, glass has become relegated to a limited number of uses and the realm of functional material, yet it has held a fascination for artists the world over, many of whom have expended considerable effort and perseverance in attempting to free it from the cliches in which it has been imprisoned. "Glasstress" offers a superbly illustrated and in-depth examination of the ways in which many contemporary artists have explored the material's intrinsic qualities, history and production constraints, and created works of exceptional originality and innovation that have pushed glass far beyond its conventional limits.
