Description
There are few contemporary artists whose name is as synonymous with the medium in which he works as Dale Chihuly. Chihuly is widely regarded as the most innovative glass artist working today. Active since the 1960's, Chihuly is credited as a major contributor to the development of the American Studio Glass Movement that celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012.
Featured in this exhibition are works from Chihuly's Venetians series that are intricately-formed and brilliantly-colored glassworks inspired by art deco Venetian glass from the 1920's and 1930's. Included in the exhibition is a magnificent 5-part chandelier that has two components hanging from the ceiling and 3 that come up from the floor. The Venetians were begun in July, 1988 with Lino Tagliapietra and Rich Royal as gaffers.
Also on exhibition will be a number of Chihuly's drawings that serve as independent work of art and "blueprints" to communicate and inspire his glassblowers to bring his designs to life and to improvise on the themes he has created.
This exhibition is being presented in honor of the 50th anniversary of the American Studio Glass Movement.
