„WITRAŻE SECESYJNE. TENDENCJE I MOTYWY” Konferencja naukowa, Łódź, 13-15 maja 2009 r.

An international scientific conference on ”Art Nouveau Stained Glass. Tendencies and Motifs” was held on 13-15 May 2009 by the Association of Lovers of Stained Glass ”Ars Vitrea Polona” and the Historical Museum of Łódź. The event gathered experts and lovers of stained glass from many parts of Poland, representing assorted institutions, as well as Ukrainian researchers. The majority of the papers dealt with stained glass found or executed in leading centres of the Polish Art Nouveau, including Kraków, Lviv, Łódź and Silesia. A presentation of factographic findings was accompanied by essential reflections about conservation. The programme of the meeting was enhanced by a tour along the trails of Łódź stained glass and a suitable exhibition featured at the Historical Museum of Łódź. A publication of the post-conference material would be an important summary of the achievements of these remarkable debates.
