This book explores his role as a founding father of British and Australian glass art, shedding light on his practice in sculpture, painting, and blown glass. Born to Polish immigrant parents, Herman's Mexican heritage and upbringing in New York City influenced his artistic journey. He traveled to London in the 1960s, leading the Glass Department at the Royal College of Art, where he inspired a generation of artists and developed revolutionary techniques in glassblowing. The book provides a comprehensive evaluation of Herman's position within the Studio Glass Movement, as well as the history of glass art and modern British art. Through his work, Herman expanded the possibilities of glass art, exploring form, composition, and colour. This book offers a valuable insight into Herman's artistic legacy, making it an essential read for art historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of glass art.
