The essays and articles by Torben Jørgensen, designer, glass artist and curator of the exhibition in the part of the museum that was the old Customs Building unfold why choosing the best was needed rather than showing unselected as in the editions 1994 and 2004.
Jutta-Annette Page, Ph.d., curator of glass and decorative art, Toledo Museum of Art took -as the only non-Danish juror- an American perspective to look to Danish glass art.

Jan Kock, MA, Associated Professor emeritus, Aarhus University, defines on the pages Danish Glass -so far and now –on the historical developments of glass artists, studios, museums and galleries in Denmark. Great to read it all and understand the different angles from which artists and designers worked and work. Illustrated with photos and even a map with red dots for each and every Danish glass studio.

Pia Strandbygaard Bittner, MA in Art History, head of PR and Communication, Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, wrote a more formal text on the material, sculpture, installation, performance, form and tradition and her conclusion. 
Pages on the artists giving names, years of birth/death, e-mail addresses and web addresses follow and on the inside back-cover all participating artists are listed.
As I prefer full-page photos on each individual work (as now smaller objects seem to be huge next to lager works on the same page), I warmly recommend this book as an important time document that one should read and or pursuit when visiting the exposition this spring or summer.
