- Max Jacquard
- Work
| Max’s work was described as ‘a lyrical masterpiece, a deft blend of visual poetry, technical brilliance and deceptive simplicity’ by the UK Glass Biennale judges for “For My Lost Loves”, which won him the award in 2006; he co-founded New London Glass in 1998 and has been pivotal in the organisation of site-specific exhibitions in London. The V&A Museum, Broadfield House Glass Museum and The Shipley Museum of Applied Arts in the UK as well as the MAVA museum in Alcorcon, Madrid, have acquired his work for their collections. Max has established a strong reputation for innovation both in technique and concept that makes his work distinctive and unique amongst glass artists.
