At the interface between art and industry, the MAK has been a partner of the company J. & L. Lobmeyr since its founding.

As an internationally operating glass publisher, the company continues to seek dialogue with artists and produces glass at the highest technical and artistic level. In this volume, the MAK's representative collection of the 20th and 21st centuries is scientifically and clearly recorded with detailed information, illustrations and comparative examples. This inventory catalog documents the company's strategy and the company's history to date and thus offers a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work for glass lovers and experts.

This publication is based on a research project of the FWF (Fund for the Promotion of Scientific Research), which was carried out at the MAK by under the direction of Waltraud Neuwirth.
