Publisher's Comments (cont.)
Martha Drexler Lynn's precise analysis of the philosophical and circumstantial factors that shaped studio glass, the state of glassmaking practice before the proto-studio glassmakers, and the emergence of pioneering artisans, Maurice Heaton and Edris Eckhardt among them, creates a living picture of the movement's struggle for respect and acceptance in America. As the social and political winds began to change in the late 1950s, so too did the attitudes toward studio glass, and such seminal events as the Asilomar Conference of 1957, the founding of The Corning Museum of Glass, and the Glass 1959 exhibition took place.
