Beauty Beyond Nature:
The Glass Art of Paul Stankard

A new way of understanding the accomplishments of a true American master and his development from his earliest attempts at capturing a daisy in glass in 1969 to his glorious 2010 orb encasing a honeybee swarm.

 Paul Stankard's finely wrought organic detail is illuminated through never-before-seen high-resolution photographs enlarged and printed with the highest production values to create a unique book that is itself a work of art.

 In an essay by William Warmus, an interview by Andrew Page, and photographs by Ron Farina and Douglas Schaible, Beauty Beyond Nature (published by the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation, Ltd., 2011) reveals Stankard's work as a powerful touchstone that connect us to the potency of the natural world and remind us of what it means to be alive.
