Book excerpt: Starting with the production of milk bottles and jam jars at a former ironworks in the Swedish province of Smaland, the groundwork was laid for what was to become a world-famous art glassworks of sweeping scope. In the centennial volume Orrefors: A Century of Swedish Glassmaking the tale of Orrefors is told by Dag Widman and Jan Brunius, each taking on half a century of glass art, from 1898 to 1998. Gunnel Holmer describes the craft of the blowing room and shops: the gatherers, gaffers, pots, and tank furnaces. Four international glass experts approach Orrefors' history from diverse viewpoints. Gillian Naylor shows how Orrefors became a symbol of Modernism and a model for the successful coupling of art and industry in Great Britain. Jonathan Sweet tells a similar tale from Australia. Derek E. Ostergaard has studied how Orrefors was introduced in the U.S. and Helmut Ricke describes how Orrefors developed an artistic approach that inspired the rest of Europe. Two photographers were given special assignments: Denise Grunstein captures the spirit of the glassworks in her evocative photos and Vince Reichhardt takes an innovative approach to photographing the beauty of glass.

Book Synopsis The Best of Modern Swedish Art Glass by : Mark D. Friedman
Download or read book The Best of Modern Swedish Art Glass written by Mark D. Friedman and published by Mark D. Friedman. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite the high level of collector interest in modern Scandinavian art glass, there have been few if any publications devoted exclusively to Swedish glass made from 1930-1970, and none that have attempted to provide the collector with the background needed to fully understand the forces that determine prices in this market. The author sets forth a concise history of the two major Swedish glass producers during their peak decades, identifies those artists and designs that are of primary importance, and assigns estimated values to these works. The focus of this work is on limited production, "high end" designs, rather than on the commercial output of these firms." "The text is illustrated with color photos from the author's own outstanding collection as well as a number of illustrations supplied by Bo Knutsson Art & Antiques, perhaps Sweden's leading dealer in 20th century Swedish glass."--BOOK JACKET.
