Art nouveau glass

Over a period of more than thirty years Gerda Koepff devoted herself passionately to collecting Art Nouveau glass. The exceptional collection she amassed during those years, comprising 126 pieces of considerable international importance, provides an overview of the very best in Art Nouveau glass while bearing the unmistakable stamp of a personal selection.Art Nouveau Glass includes in-depth commentaries on individual pieces, supplemented by a number of essays and contributions published in English for the first time. In addition, intensive archive research has brought new material to light, particularly on Daum Freres. A comprehensive, scholarly appendix includes artists' biographies, details on the various glass manufacturers and, of particular note, thirty-five drawings from Galle's studio.
