Chihuly’s Stunning Seaforms: A Glass Art Journey

Since the late 1960s, Dale Chihuly has been revolutionizing the art and craft of glassblowing, concocting dynamic, flamboyant, color-saturated forms that push this ubiquitous material far beyond utilitarian ends, including his signature, massing chandeliers. His works, seen across the U.S. and worldwide, include individual pieces ranging from undulating, nested vessels to whimsical sea creatures, and encompassing architectural installations. He bases his multidisciplinary approach upon teamwork, with up to 18 people working at a time, and draws from architecture and design, painters and sculptors, Native American baskets, and nature. As Chihuly describes, in terms reflecting his egalitarian attitude: “My feeling is that it doesn’t make any difference if the work is called art or craft or design…If they go into the museum, which has everything from native masks to painting, these objects become equals—one really isn’t more important than another.”

The first time i encountered a work by Chihuly for real was at the entrance of the Bellagio hotel / Las Vegas and since i have been collecting publications by Chihuly of which some are available at http://www.ftn-books.com and i now added a new title on his SEAFORMS. (includes DVD)

  1. Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  2. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such wonderful info being shared freely out there.

  3. Can I just say what a relief to uncover someone who really understands what they are talking about on the internet. You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people have to read this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular since you most certainly have the gift.
