Chihuly: Selections From Four Decades of Iconic Work

Chihuly: Four Decades of Iconic Work, showcases works spanning 40 years and celebrates both the monumental installations and more discrete works for which Chihuly is known. The collection features two new large-scale installations and over 50 sculptures in glass, as well as two-dimensional works, connecting various series and decades. Synthesizing ideas and practices of the Studio Glass Movement in North America as well as the traditions of the Venetian Ateliers, Chihuly’s ambitious six-decade long career has set the bar for glass in contemporary art and redefined the vernacular of abstraction. From his iconic Baskets and delicate Seaforms, to the colourful Macchia, dynamic Soft Cylinders, and mesmerizing Persians, each piece in this exhibition embodies Chihuly’s innovative techniques, bold use of color, and captivating forms.
