Synopsis

American master glass artist Jeff Zimmerman (born 1968) began his career studying the Italian traditions of glassmaking with Lino Tagliapietro and Pino Signoretto, but was influenced conceptually by contemporary artists such as Maya Lin, Kiki Smith and Ann Hamilton. His sculptures and functional pieces exploit techniques of advanced glassmaking and the defining properties of glass itself--the way it hovers between liquid and solid states, its reflectivity and tactile qualities. This publication brings together for the first time several of his most popular series of works, both large and small-scale, alongside design sketches and photographs of the artist at work.
