my 9-month old loves Chihuly - NOT Cholula!

YES


NO

Cholula is the bomb!

Pics from a trip to Caribbean

I try to see his stuff whenever I go somewhere new.
:hi:

Inquiring minds want to know!

:hi:

they have a wonderfully large permanent Chihuly collection.

It rocks.

His studio is just down the street from me and I have a friend who blows glass there. Several times I've been able to take a tour through the private living space and each time is more awe-inspiring than the last!

Here's another site with his work:

I am so jealous that you get private tours! I've seen two of his exhibitions where they mingle his work into a botanic garden - the Chicago one and the Atlanta one. Chihuly is just so damn amazing!

As for the photo, I think I'll get a print made and frame it. I like it too. My daughter really liked the exhibit. She reacted to it more than she's reacted to anything that we have taken her to see.

I've seen his stuff at various exhibits, SOFA, whatnot. But I have to say the intermingling of the plant-life and his work was most impressive.

ever again, I find out they have a Chihuly collection.

Of course if I decide to come up there to see it, I will have to find the other DU folks up there, so beware.

but since it's only Chihuly I guess you're OK.

What's Chihuly? :shrug:

see his stuff at http://www.chihuly.com/

thanks

if you can find a copy. Our PBS station used to run it during beg a thon and I watch it every time I see it is on.

He took his team to several of the major art glass companies around the world and worked with their teams to craft a unique design reflective of that country, its culture and the traditional "look" of that glasswork, made a chandelier/hanging art piece of each of them and then they were installed in Venice Italy for about a year.
The film is just WOW...they go from scratch to intstall on each piece.

Japan, Mexico, US, Ireland, and others I can't remember..one of them was Waterford Crystal. I suppose each of those pieces is now in a museum somewhere, or back at the glasswork where it was made.

I need to own that film.

I have also seen it on a cable station from time to time too.

I'm going to do a Google search and see if I can come up with what you're describing.

that should be in the newspaper! Your little one has great taste.

Chihuly is amazing! wow. I have the video of him traveling to Venice somewhere. His stuff is just astounding.

saw it.
Isn't that the most amazing film?

he is so talented. Incredible.

my girl was so amazed at what she saw - it was wonderful to see her so interested. Maybe she'll have a future in the glass-blowing business??

And I've seen on PBS about him going to Venice - it was so cool.

:wow:

Not to say they are not artistically stunning, but...
