His signature works in glass engage tens of thousands worldwide, and this landmark comprehensive book beautifully reveals Simpson's boundary-stretching innovations in how glass is used. Chapters organized by his best-known works allow collectors, the public, experts, and students to marvel at how and why his best-known works are famous: Goblets, Planets, Vessels, Sculpture, Stellar Disks. Also included are details on his less known and experimental works, including New Mexico Glass, Tektites, and other convention-breaking contributions to glass art. Especially timely since it's the 50th-anniversary year of Simpson's work. Insights by experts in the glass world, including William Warmus, Tina Oldknow, Nezka Pfeifer, and others, supply additional views.
