Alan Glass

Alan Glass has dedicated his entire career to building objects. He has no equal in the history of art, with the exception of Joseph Cornell. Characters such as Queen Elizabeth I and King Ludwig II of Bavaria, ice castles, the sea (navigation), the sky (astrology) and the universe appear in his object boxes. Equally important are his two-dimensional works, in which, with his exquisitely versatile drawing, he has made his fantastic visions come true.

This book is the result of a study carried out over two years by the prominent curator and lecturer Masayo Nonaka, a specialist in the subject of Mexican surrealism.
