Book DescriptionTo celebrate its centenary, Steuben is planning a major exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York-together with this companion book-showcasing its most glamorous and sophisticated creations from the "30s through the "60s. The exhibition and book explore a remarkable chapter in the history of both America"s premier crystal and the modern movement in art and design in New York City.
Monumental bowls, stemware, and exquisitely sculpted and copper-wheel-engraved pieces from Steuben"s elite mid-century lines are featured in this stunning volume. A few of the highlights include Sidney Waugh"s famous Gazelle Bowl and George Thompson"s Galapagos Bowl, as well as works by such celebrated artists as Salvador Dalí and Isamu Noguchi.Black-and-white photographs of Steuben glass masterworks are combined with vintage photographs and ephemera from Steuben"s archive that capture the look and feel of a glittering era in New York City"s life and art. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Glass + Glamour : Steuben's Modern Moment, 1930-1960 (Donald Albrecht)
