From the frontlines
of the American Studio Glass Movement to the renowned studios of Cristallerie
Daum, the Fenton Art Glass Company, Waterford Crystal, Herman Miller,
and Steuben Glass, Dan Dailey's glasswork has been in the public eye
for the past four decades. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive
look at his beautiful-and playful-oeuvre. Dailey's work has been met
with critical and popular acclaim at home as well as abroad and collected
by nearly fifty museums on three continents.
His vibrant, humorous
pieces draw upon his background in cartooning and training in nearly
every glass technique, as well as a proficiency in metalwork-a force
of innovation that continually pushes the medium forward. With a foreword
by graphic designer Milton Glaser, an interview with the artist by
Corning Museum curator Tina Oldknow, and an essay by William Warmus,
this collection of over 400 works is an essential addition to any
library.
