Ann Wolff Datasheet TITLE INFORMATION Tel: +1 212 645 1111 Email: [email protected] Web: https://www.accartbooks.com/us Ann Wolff Persona Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek Contributions by Mark Gisbourne Foreword by Klaus Weschenfelder ISBN 9783897904163 Publisher Arnoldsche Binding Hardback Territory USA & Canada Size 9.53 in x 9.45 in Pages 136 Pages Illustrations 100 color Price $50.00 Extensive overview of the last decade of Ann Wolff's work An analysis of the philosophical and existential topic of the Self and the Other through the exceptional medium of glass The German-Swedish artist Ann Wolff (born in 1937) is one of the most significant and exciting proponents of the European studio glass movement. She has an expert understanding of the characteristics of glass and how to show off the complete spectrum of its diverse possibilities of expression. The publication offers an extensive overview of the period of work over the last ten prolific years. With most of her large-format sculptures, the medium of glass plays a central role, but Ann Wolff is not restricted to it alone; she also uses other materials, such as bronze, concrete or aluminium. The catalogue is boosted by additional selected drawings and pastels. Common to these is the eponymous motif of 'persona', the character mask, which expresses the artist's continuous debate with philosophical and existential issues. In doubling and mirror imaging, in veiling and exposing, she revolves around fundamental questions of the Self and the Other and her bilateral perception. Ann Wolff holds an accolade from the Glass Art Awards of the Glass Art Society, Seattle, and of the European Culture Prize Pro Europe. She is represented in numerous prestigious museums and collections in Europe, the United States and Japan, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Nationalmuseum, Stockholm; Designmuseum Danmark, Copenhagen; Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Sapporo; Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg; Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; and Musée de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains, Lausanne.

    News from the Stacks of the ACAD library Art just cannot live on itself. It has to draw on a broader knowledge. Anselm Kiefer ISSUE 6 October 2018 If there is a publication in which your writing and/or work appear please let us know at [email protected] We will be pleased to highlight it here. School of Craft + Emerging Media School of Communication Design More School of Critical + Creative Studies School of Visual Arts Celebrating our Own … Jillian Tamaki They Say Blue (Jillan is and ACAD Alum ) Caldecott and Printz Honor-winning illustrator Jillian Tamaki brings us a poetic exploration of colour and nature from a young child’s point of view. They Say Blue follows a young girl as she contemplates colours in the known and the unknown, in the immediate world and the world beyond what she can see. The sea looks blue, yet water cupped in her hands is as clear as glass. Is a blue whale blue? She doesn’t know — she hasn’t seen one. Stunningly beautiful illustrations flow from one spread to the next, as time passes and the imagination takes hold. The world is full of colour, and mystery too, in this first picture book from a highly acclaimed artist. Thinking, imagining, noticing — these, Tamaki suggests, are the tools we have to understand our world. (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review) Peter Von Tiesenhausen Songs for Pythagoras (Peter is an ACAD Alum) For Peter von Tiesenhausen, the landscape of Alberta has been a primary source of inspiration, with sustainability being a constant thread that has woven its way through his work over the course of his long career.

Outline Ann Wolff was born in Lübeck, Germany in 1937. She studied drawing and visual communications before moving to Sweden, where she worked as a designer for a number of glassworks, including Kosta Boda. After striking out up on her own in 1978 she established her own glass studio. She continues to energetically pursue her artistic practice from her base in Sweden. At first Wolff created glass bowls and glass sheets incorporating motifs inspired by her own personal stories or everyday objects, but later she began focusing on women's faces and bodies, creating three-dimensional works combining glass and other materials.
