Description:
Sculptural Glass & American Museums is a hard cover reference book by Martha Drexler Lynn that surveys glass sculpture held in permanent collections across the United States. It is constructed as a large format, image-forward museum guide with written context, making it useful for lampworkers and hot shop artists who want strong historical examples of form, scale, and presentation standards for sculptural glass. This kind of book is often used in the studio as a design and finishing reference when developing new bodies of work, planning exhibition pieces, or studying how museums contextualize glass as sculpture. Author: Martha Drexler Lynn. ISBN: 9780812238969.
How it is used:
- Use as a design reference for sculptural forms, proportion, and silhouette before committing to a build in the flame or hot shop.
- Study museum collection examples to guide surface decisions such as polish level, coldwork approach, and edge treatment.
- Reference the range of sculptural approaches to help plan series work and cohesive bodies of work.
- Use as a visual resource when teaching or mentoring students on contemporary sculptural glass and presentation expectations.
- Compare scale and compositional strategies that translate into lampworked sculpture, kilnformed components, and mixed-technique builds.
