STEPHEN ROLFE POWELL - Glassmaker

An introduction to internationally acclaimed glass artist Stephen Rolfe Powell's career, the recent book published by UPK charts the evolution of Powell's remarkable body of work. Dazzling photographic close-ups not only detail the luminous murrini patterns that have become Powell's signature but also reveal new ways of appreciating the complex interplay of color and texture in his art. Biographical and analytical essays by Mark Lucas, Laurie Winters, and James Yood explore such topics as the teamwork that is so critical to Powell's unique glassmaking process; his teaching and learning experiences on the road, from the former Soviet Union to Salt Lake City during the Olympics; and the story of the two freak injuries that deeply affected his work and how he thinks about it. Reflections by Kenn Holsten, Marvin Lipofsky, Dante Marioni, Bonnie Marx, John Roush, and Lino Tagliapietra further supplement the book.

Stephen Rofle Powell is an amazing artist. I've seen a number of his pieces but of course I'll have to win the lottery to be able to afford one. Can't wait to get his book.
