It marks the culmination of the Copier Research Project.
Andries Copier (1901-1991) is the greatest glass artist the Netherlands has ever known. During the extended period that he was associated with the Leerdam glassworks, he put the 'Leerdam' name on the international map. His Gilde service belongs to the canon of Dutch design. His one-off art pieces are world-famous and his ability to produce original and attractive designs for an affordable price has fundamentally influenced the development of industrial design in glass.
This publication prompted seminal research into the complete design archive and sales catalogues of the Leerdam glassworks. By collating information from a variety of sources this volume presents the most complete overview of the multifaceted oeuvre of this prolific master of glass. Various experts elucidate the technical aspects of Copier's work, but also discuss the master's sources of inspiration and his work's significance in the development of glass art.
