Sam Herman (1936-2020) stands at the very centre of the development
of the international Studio Glass Movement. He was not only present
for the birth of the Movement in the United States, but was its
founding father in Great Britain and Australia. This book is the
first to deal directly with the genesis of the Movement and the
pioneering work of Herman within it, while also shedding light on
his wider practice in sculpture and painting. The son of Polish
immigrants, Mexican by birth, and brought up in the tougher New
York boroughs, Herman travelled to London in the mid-1960s and went
on to head up the Glass Department at the Royal College of Art.
From there he inspired a generation of artists, created
revolutionary techniques and was instrumental in the development of
colour and texture in blown glass. For art historians, collectors
and aficionados of glass, this book provides a welcome and
comprehensive evaluation of Herman's position within the Studio
Glass Movement, the history of glass art, as well as the wider
context of modern British art. While discussion of his sculpture
and painting reveal further dimensions to Herman's ongoing, and
indefatigable, explorations in form, composition and colour.
