This first comprehensive work on Mary Shaffer illuminates her
radical life and art, from a single mother in the '70s entering the
male-dominated world of glass art to the renowned master she is
today. A pioneering figure in the American Studio Glass Movement,
she expanded the art form with her innovative mid-air slumping
technique, which uses gravity to create flowing, organic shapes
from glass. Nearly 200 photos covering four decades feature her
iconic slumped and cast glass art, as well as large outdoor
sculptures, conceptual installations, and commissioned pieces.
Personal stories shed light on integral figures, moments, and
developments in studio glass art throughout her career, giving rare
insider insight to artists, students, and collectors. A foreword by
Jane Adlin and contributions from Lucy R. Lippard and William
Warmus delve further into Shaffer's artistic philosophy and
legacy-one rooted in dissolving the binaries of liquid/solid,
female/male, intangible/tangible, personal/political.
