An original and entertaining catalogue of a touring exhibition that has already caused quite a stir. The expressive potential of glass emerges from the pages of the catalogue of Glasstress, the exhibition that left the Venice Biennale in February 2012 for the Museum of Art and Design in New York. The excellent colour photographs reproduce the glass sculptures and installations of world-famous artists and designers - some of the best-known on the international scene - who, for the occasion, have tried their hand at one of the arts that made Venice famous throughout the world. This catalogue is destined to become a “must” for collectors, designers, students and connoisseurs of the subject.
