Clearly Inspired
For five thousand years, artisans have worked in glass to create forms that serve and delight. But only recently have artists turned their hands and minds to this traditionally utilitarian and decorative material. Clearly Inspired: Contemporary Glass and Its Origins contrasts the work of contemporary glass artists with examples of earlier glass that have inspired them to rediscover or reinvent forgotten techniques. Transforming an ancient craft into a contemporary art, they honor the past while making visual statements that are very much of our time.

Trompe L'oeil at Home
With a breathtaking collection of photographs, this volume shows how rooms can be magically transformed through trompe-l'oeil murals, objects, paintings, and fabrics, as well as with painted faux finishes that dazzle and beguile the viewer. These ingenious techniques turn wooden floors into opulent marble expanses, adorn plain walls with neoclassical molding, upgrade ordinary furniture to period pieces, and add sumptuous garden views to windowless rooms.
