Vladimira Klumpar is a contemporary American artist of Czech origin working in glass, who is well-known on both sides of the Atlantic. A student of the famous professor Stanislav Libensky, she follows his sophisticated abstract approach to monumental cast glass sculpture. From this background, she has explored a unique dynamic body of work, which reflects her sensitive relation to nature and modern urban world. Her monograph represents close to three decades of works on glass objects accompanied by delicate drawings. Introduced by professor William V. Ganis, the publication brings an exciting autobiographical interview as well as the artist's description of the complicated glass casting process and technology.

Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
