The Stroemple Collection boasts more than five hundred vintage
Venetian vessels that illustrate the height of Venetian
glassblowing during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In
2012, George Stroemple commissioned James Mongrain-Dale Chihuly's
current gaffer and an exceptional glass artist-to make a series of
ten vessels to replicate major examples of vintage Venetian glass
in the Stroemple Collection. The finished pieces exemplify
Mongrain's extraordinary ability to re-create traditional Venetian
mastery in glass. Since then, the Stroemple Collection has
commissioned Mongrain to make more series, all based on the
historic works in the Stroemple Collection. For these, Mongrain
uses traditional techniques and imagery to reimagine the Venetian
style, working on a large scale to create monumental and sculptural
pieces that reference tradition but are firmly within contemporary
glassmaking. This book documents each of the James Mongrain
commissions and will also include various examples of historic
Venetian glass that inspired Mongrain in the making of these
series.
Artists Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace began collaborating at
Pilchuck Glass School in 1979 and went on to become pioneers of
style and technique in the art glass world. The innovation, scale,
and complexity of their work firmly established their place
alongside other major glass artists, and their work is included in
many museum collections around the world. Despite this, Kirkpatrick
and Mace have not been afforded a scholarly review of their
careers, which now span more than thirty years. Throughout their
productive careers, Kirkpatrick and Mace have consistently explored
seminal themes: principles of "drawing" as incorporated into glass,
the metaphoric content of our relationship to nature, and the
appropriation of materials to support a visual idea. This book will
bring the depth and richness of these themes into comprehensive
focus.
