description
This publication represents a new contribution to the discourse on glass as a material in contemporary art. Often categorised under crafts or as a design material, glass has become an important medium for fine art in recent decades, which the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung has supported through exhibitions, scientific work and the establishment of a collection. This book presents a selection of around fifty artists from different geographical and cultural backgrounds. They demonstrate the diverse artistic practice of working with glass: from spectacular small objects to installations.
