Editor's Letter

by Andrew Page

This special issue is a celebration of discovery, a rare chance to encounter significant new work you've probably never seen before. In an attempt to document new talent that is not well known but destined to be, GLASS Quarterly asked top museum curators, academics, and art critics to identify the most important artists working in glass that sudiences had not heard of (yet). Each of our contributors was limited to one choice-- and their selections will surprise and delight you.
