Active since the 1960s, Dale Chihuly is widely regarded as the most innovative glass artist working today. Featured in the exhibition are works from Chihuly’s Venetians series, which are intricately informed and brilliantly colored glassworks inspired by Art Deco Venetian glass from the 1920s and 1930s. Included in the exhibition is a magnificent 5-part chandelier composed of more than 1500 pieces of glass. A number of Chihuly’s drawings will also be on view, which serve as independent works of art and “blueprints” bring his designs to life.
