This review is from: Voices of Contemporary Glass: The Heineman Collection (Hardcover)
A beautiful book. Excellent photos of superb works of art in glass. Photo's also of artist (some in studio). The variety and quality of work shown makes this a "must have" for all glass enthusiasts as well as others interested in "Fine Craft".I read it cover to cover and will do so many times.

A fine survey of the Heineman Collection's importance,
