Dale Chihuly's Adynamic, improbable, flamboyant, and ravishingly beautiful creations" (Booklist) have dazzled the public for over three decades, and have won him international fame as the premier artist working in glass today. His blown glass works are on display in more than 180 museums around the world. But perhaps nothing Chihuly has done can match the drama and emotional impact of his spectacular large-scale installations. These grand projects, their objectives and solutions, are the focus of this glorious volume.
From the resplendent towers in Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem 2000 to the ceiling sculpture made of over 2,000 hand-blown forms in the lobby of the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas, the audacity and inventiveness of Chihuly's vision comes across on every page. A splendid companion volume to Abrams' very successful Chihuly, which offered a general overview, this new book, with its focus on his most imposing creations and its essays by Barbara Rose and Dale M. Lanzone, will delight all art lovers, collectors, curators, and glass artists.
DALE CHIHULY (b. 1941) is recognized as the most important artist working in the medium of glass. He has won numerous awards and in 1986 became one of only four Americans to be honored by a one-man exhibition at the Muse des Arts Dcoratifs in the Louvre, Paris. Chihuly is co-founder of the Pilchuck Glass School outside Seattle, which draws students and teachers from around the globe.
BARBARA ROSE is an eminent art historian and critic.

This book is a fabulous deal. With about 75% of the book being full page color photographs of Chihuly's work, this volume really helped me discover who this artist is and what his work is all about. The reproductions are of the highest quality as is the art. The two essays opening the book are well written, allowing beginners and veterens of glass alike to pick up info about the artist, his technique, and his place in history. Notes from Chihuly and his team are provided to give a personal inside look at the art, which I found to be very interesting. Even if you don't know anything about glass, buy this as a coffee table book. I guarantee it will make you look culturally saavy and will be a great conversation starter. Best of all, if you'd rather look than read, this is definitely the volume for you. It's like taking a world tour of Chihuly's glass installations, art that is accessible and fun to view for all.

This book is best described by the words color and form.Many collectors of glass have discovered Chihuly and his freedom of color and form but not many can travel to see his installations all over the world. This book is so well done it satisfies the eye with the color and forms but the full size of the works of Dale Chihuly are only realized in person,so let it suffice to enjoy the best book on Dale Chihuly and his works.This is excellent photography of Art Glass at its finest.
