"Glass and Glamour: Steuben's Modern Moment, 1930-1960," an exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York curated by Donald Albrecht, celebrates modern Steuben's defining decades of the 1930s through the 1950s, showcasing its most glamorous and sophisticated creations from that era. The exhibition and this companion volume explore a remarkable chapter in the history of America's premier crystal and the modern movement in art and design in New York City." "Donald Albrecht's essay encapsulates that vibrant period and examines how the artistic development of Steuben and New York City are inextricably linked. Steuben's own modern times began in 1933 when Arthur Amory Houghton Jr., a 27-year-old Harvard graduate and member of the family that controlled Corning Glass Works, decided to catapult the company's financially ailing Steuben division - later renamed Steuben Glass - into the realm of contemporary design. Houghton hired architect John Monteith Gates as managing director and sculptor Sidney Waugh as design director, and for the next three decades this dynamic triumvirate reshaped Steuben, not only reinventing the company but also achieving household name recognition and launching a new age in twentieth-century design."--BOOK JACKET.
