Spring is in the air and Hampton Roads is blooming. The vibrant flowers springing up everywhere have us thinking about a colorful new edition to the Library’s collection - Stephen Rolfe Powell: Glassmaker. This 2007 publication features the work of Kentucky glass artist Powell. Pulsing with every color imaginable these amazing glass pieces teem with pattern and texture. Gorgeously photographed, the catalogue contains both detailed images of Powell's works and the process by which they were created. Also included are short articles by writers and other glass artists. Dante Marioni, Lino Tagliapietra and Marvin Lipofsky (to name a few) reminisce about encountering Powell's work. This catalogue will have you excited about seeing Powell's Bubbling Pools of Color at the d’ART Center at Selden Arcade during Art of Glass 2 (April 24 - June 28, 2009) . This book is just one of many highlighting the glass artists whose work will be appearing around our area in the weeks to come - so stop by the Library reading room today and take a look!
