Esveld beschrijft de schoonheid en artisticiteit van hun glaskunst, maar meer nog doet ze de technische kanten ervan uit de doeken. Dit boek helpt om echt van vals te onderscheiden, puntgave objecten van beschadigde, oog te krijgen voor bijgeslepen of samengesteld. Het leert gevoel te ontwikkelen voor perfecte vormgeving en modellen, bewust te kijken naar decoratie, kleur, afwerking en signatuur n het wijst op alle trucs die in vroegere tijd en vandaag de dag zijn toegepast om de argeloze koper om de tuin te leiden.

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.
