Dedo von Kerssenbrock-Krosigk is head of the Glasmuseum Hentrich, Stiftung museum kunst palast, in Dusseldorf, Germany. After
receiving his doctorate from Humboldt University, Berlin, he worked at the Bröhan-Museum—a museum specialized in Art Nouveau
and Art Déco decorative arts—in Berlin 1998–2003. From 2004 until 2008, he was curator of European glass at The Corning Museum
of Glass, Corning, New York. As such, he was responsible for the museum’s collections from the Middle Ages to about 1900. His
major project in Corning was the exhibition “Glass of the Alchemists,” which focused on the technological improvements of the
making of glass in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Adrian Wright kindly contributed the epilogue to the accompanying
