The show then went to two other museums in Japan, two museums in Germany and the Corning Museum of Glass in the summer of 1998. The three curators of this exhibition were Susanne K. Frantz from the Corning Museum, Helmut Ricke at Kunstmuseum Dusseldorf, and Yoriko Mizuta at the Hokkaido Museum.

Biographical sketches of each artist, including exhibition history, awards. Illustrated throughout in color. 12" high X 9" wide, 149 pages.
