Description
The first monograph on the work of a groundbreaking artist in stained glass.
From her start in the 1980s, Judith Schaechter (b. 1961) has stretched the medium of stained glass into an incisive art form for the twenty-first century, boldly paving her path in the diverse arena of contemporary art. With deep respect for history, a provocative rebelliousness, and a feminist sensibility, Schaechter has aptly been called a "post-punk stained-glass sorceress." This catalog accompanies "The Path to Paradise: Judith Schaechter's Stained-Glass Art", the first survey and major scholarly assessment of this groundbreaking artist's 37-year career. This catalog explores the range of critical registers Schaechter's work spans, illuminating and contextualizing the artist's unique contributions to the contemporary canon.

Reviews / Votes
The chapters [...] are all interesting and insightful, and a delight to read. [...] the forty-five works in this publication display a huge talent and a vision at once exquisite and deeply, viscerally unnerving from which we cannot look away. -- Julie L.
