My friend, the photographer Simon Bruntnell, has just sent me a copy of his new book on contemporary glass. And it’s a triumph! As one would expect from this fantastically skilled and talented glass photographer, the images are nothing less than vibrant and sumptuous. Just like today’s market in contemporary studio glass, in fact. Simon works with nearly all the glassmakers who exhibit at the excellent International Festival of Glass and Biennale, so has privileged and unprecedented access to both these masters of glass and their masterworks. As such, as well as their work, you’ll find fascinating pictures of the artists themselves.
The book, suitably titled ‘Objects of Desire’, is a must for anyone who loves contemporary glass, and costs £15 including postage and packing. You can find out more about it, and order your copy, by clicking here.
