Description: Blenko Catalog Set 1959 - 2001, 4 Volumes This 4-volume set by Leslie Pina includes Blenko - Cool '50s & '60s Glass, 2nd Edition; Blenko Glass - 1962-1971 Catalogs; Blenko Glass - 1972-1983 Catalogs; and Blenko Catalogs Then and Now, 1959-1961 and 1984-2001 Though Blenko Glass was formed well-before the 1950s, the cool art glass designed by Winslow Anderson, Wayne Husted, and Joel Myers in the 1950s and 1960s sparked an era at Blenko that has continued to this day. The resulting glass has become highly desired to collectors and simply attractive to people everywhere. These four hard cover volumes depict nearly every Blenko art glass piece for about 33 years and takes 688 pages to do so. The first volume, Cool '50s and 60s Glass, focuses on the three designers, Anderson, Husted and Myers, exhibiting their works and designs on both paper and in glass. The mid-section and bulk of the book displays the glass created by Blenko. This section is organized by function - stoppers, vases, handles, drinkware, tableware, lighting, figural and others. The last section provides a reprint of the 1960 catalog and a section on current glass production including an interview with the Matt Carter, the design director installed in 1995. The three catalog volumes reproduce Blenko's catalogs from 1959 through 2001. Over 3,000 items are depicted and appraised. The array of art work is truly stunning. Blenko lovers will be in heaven.
