Dale Chihuly Glass
Mar 3, 2024 17:11:26 #
My first exposure to glass work of Dale Chihuly came unexpectedly a few years ago while doing business at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. I was astounded by an enormous chandelier made of an array of wavy, multicolored glass tubes hanging from the ceiling in the main atrium. I did some research and thus learned of the artist, who lives today at age 82.
Thus, on my recent trip to St. Petersburg, Floridai, I learned of the collection housed there in collaboration with the Morean Art Center (side note: St. Pete has become quite the center for art!). So, with some time on my hands, I visited both the Morean Art Center proper, the Chihuly collection across the street, and then attended a glass blowing demonstration. Had I known I would have taken my "real" camera, but since I didn't I used my iPhone 14 Pro.

I have seen several Chihuly exhibitions and found it difficult to get good shots. You did a terrific job. Well done!

Very nice set of images. I'm a big Chihuly fan. Saw a Chihuly show at the Akron Art Museum almost 40 years ago and have followed him ever since. Do you know if he's still working. Although he doesn't actually create the art, he sketches it and then directs the craftsmen much like a maestro at a symphony orchestra. Post more if you've got them.
