Stained Glass before 1700 in the Philadelphia Museum of Art,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2003 Hardback, 432 p., 60 b/w ill. + 300 colour ill., 230 x 315 mm. ISBN 9781872501192.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is renowned for its world-class collections, and the medium of stained glass was already recognized as an integral part of these collections since the time of the museum's establishment in 1876. It was in that year that the first stained glass window was purchased for the original building in Fairmount Park - Memorial Hall - and the acquisition of stained glass has played a significant role in the development of the museum ever since. Medieval glass in particular, displayed as it now is in the context of the museum's medieval installations, has enhanced both the appreciation as well as a deeper understanding of the art of the Middle Ages. The present volume, Part VI/1 of the series Corpus Vitrearum USA, illustrates and catalogues in great detail the entire holdings of more than 140 stained glass panels now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The collection is wide-ranging in both date and origin of production : it includes panels of high quality from the early thirteenth to the seventeenth century, and from a number of different countries and regions. Pride of place among the items catalogued are the large-scale ecclesiastical windows from France, the most precious of which are the three stained glass medallions commissioned in mid-thirteenth century by Louis IX for his palace chapel in Paris, the Sainte-Chapelle. Of equal importance is the holding of English armorial glass, considered to be the most extensive collection in the United States, while from the North and South Lowlands, the museum also owns an interesting group of unipartite glass panels. The author, Dr Renee Burnam, provides an exceptionally detailed and well-researched catalogue entry for each panel, and gives not only a full description of its iconography, style, technique and condition, but introduces every item with a lengthy account of the history of the glass, enlivening her text with a wealth of comparative illustrations. In addition to the main body of the catalogue, Dr Burnam also provides shorter descriptions of the figural glass acquired by the museum in 1945 from the estate of George Gray Barnard and of a group of composite heraldic glass, either altered or dated after 1700; and finally she includes entries for further unipartite panels either damaged, fragmented or dated post-1700. Furthermore there is a most interesting and useful Appendix listing de-accessioned glass that had been acquired earlier in the museum's history. How this substantial collection of stained glass was formed is the main theme of the author's Introduction to this volume. She traces the acquisitions, gifts and bequests from the time of the founding of the museum and shows how the present collection benefitted from the enterprise and discernment of successive museum directors and curators, and how great the contribution has been by the many generous collectors, donors and benefactors. All catalogued panels are reproduced in colour and juxtaposed with their relevant restoration charts. The volume also includes a Glossary, an exhaustive Bibliography and a comprehensive Index.

ANDRIES DIRK COPIER. IDEAS IN GLASS. UNICA AND MORE.
Stuttgart/Berlin, Arnoldsche Art Publishers/Dieter Enke, 2009 Bound, hard cover, original editor's jacket illustrated in colour, 24.3x24.3 cm., 200 pp., English text, German translation on Cd, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9783897902992.
Andries Dirk Copier (1901-1991) is the best known 20th-century Dutch glass artist and a precursor of the international studio glass movement. At the age of twenty-seven, he was already managing the Leerdam Glass Factory, the largest of its kind in the Netherlands. There he was able to freely develop aesthetically alongside extensive work in designing utilitarian glass, to experiment with forms and colours and try out recently discovered techniques. The works that grew out of that artistic experimentation are called Unica. Today they are viewed as autonomous works of art in their own right. Even after he retired, Copier continued to work until he was ninety years old at the worldis leading glass centres in Murano, the US, Sweden, France and the Czech Republic. Copier called the Unica objects he produced during that period ?autonomous glass". The present book focuses on the artistic development of Unica glass. Some 60 Unica pieces as well as ?autonomous glass" pieces are shown and analysed, covering a period of approx. 70 years. Nor is the work Copier produced as an industrial designer neglected. Particularly important or rare examples of designs for utilitarian objects - notably Leerdam glass - are also shown.
Glass, made in antiquity - exciting new research on glass from antiquity.
, Waanders, 2025 softcover, 256 pages, illustrated, 30.1 x 23.2 Handbook on archaeological glass. English text. *New. ISBN 9789462587038.
Glass is one of the most intriguing materials we know, combining a number of attractive properties. Sometimes its colours are mesmerizingly beautiful, at other times we wonder at its transparency. It seldom reacts with other substances and so does not absorb odours. A disadvantage is its fragility. But it does recycle well -- something the ancients already knew (and put to good use?). For them too, - particularly in Roman times ? glass played an important role in everyday life. Think of bottles that held oil or wine. Or small flasks intended for scented oil.? Amsterdam's Allard Pierson has a rich collection of archaeological glass. In recent years, several pieces have been researched, chiefly focusing on its technical aspects. How was glass made and what are its constituent elements? This book not only catalogues Allard Pierson's rich collection of archaeological glass; it also includes several articles about a range of exciting new research on glass from antiquity. René van Beek (1958) studied classical archaeology at the University of Amsterdam. After his studies, he spent several years excavating in Turkey before becoming curator of the Classical World at the Allard Pierson Museum (Collections of the University of Amsterdam).There, he is mainly concerned with Roman culture and the museum?s collection of plaster casts after classical statues. As a glass lover and connoisseur of this fascinating material, he has spent the last few years intensively researching the museum?s ancient glass collection.
