The idea for a glass special with the title Art in glass, Glass in art emerged from an article in a newspaper a reader sent us on the collection Ryckaert. The magazine never published anything about glass, so the editors saw there had to be a potential for a fascinating release on the material glass. Most readers nor the editors were familiar with this material, but with the help of many specialists they did their utmost to present a vast versatility of glass in art to present the readers.
