A book on glass art was published for the first time in Korea. It is thought that it would serve as a momentum which marks a new era in Korea, a wasteland for glass art. You may recognize that there is not even one book about glass art though a number of books have published in Korea until now, quite unbelievable.
The author, Zung Moon Guhn, graduated from the Royal College of Art in London after graduating from College of Art in Hong-Ik University in Seoul. Then, being fascinated by glass sculpture, he devoted full time to studying glass art in Europe for 15 years, and especially, made an exchange with glass artists from many countries of Europe, looked around the glass museums and glass factories in order to solve difficult problems of glass, and created his own works of art while experimenting and researching glass in his atelier in London. After he came to Korea, he established a glass atelier in the suburbs of Seoul which is larger and has better facilities than any other glass schools in Europe, being absorbed in creating sculptures using glass as a medium in earnest. His wife, SongHee, is working actively as a glass artist.
Their career as an artist will give a stimulus to those who get interest in glass or aim to learn glass art, and also contribute to glass art history in Korea.
