In the Name of Love: Contemporary Glass

Florian Hufnagl, Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek, Clementine Schack von Wittenau

Human beings yearn to give expression to love and the pain of love in art. Over the centuries, literature, music, painting and sculpture have reflected these eternal endeavours. Only a few of the initiated know that glass has developed as an interesting artistic material in recent decades. Sculptures on abstract themes have replaced the more traditional bowls or vases.

This publication by the Alexander Tutsek Foundation presents contemporary sculptures by international artists who use glass in their work. Based on the theme 'In the Name of Love', they allow the viewer to experience love and the pain of love both sensually and poetically, audaciously and provocatively.
