Chihuly Blown Glass Exhibit (Pics)
 

I went to the CHIHULY glass exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and took a few pics. The work this guy does is truly amazing.

great :winkwink:

That is awesome, I love glass art work. In San Fransisco at the SF MOMA they usually have pretty good stuff, or they did when I lived there.

Chichuly's work is in a couple of the casinos around here, includung the Bellagio. Dale did a sweet glass-and-ice thing a couple of years ago that was televised on PBS.

They had a couple very small pieces of his for sale. The cheapest I saw was over 4 grand.

Fucking killler. One of the coolest places I've seen. Love this stuff. :thumbsup


Love how he incorperates it into the vegitation.

I have several of his pieces. Some stored away until there are no kids or cats (like that will ever happen).

I had the great fortune of bidding and winning a dinner with him (he cooked) at the Boathouse studio on Lake Union in Seattle a few years back. The auction is an annual one for the Pilchuck Glass School. Needless to say it was an experience I'll never forget. Not only is he a great glass maker (although he more supervises these days), he's a great mind and very quick wit. We got the grand tour, a spaghetti dinner, a chance to watch the hot shop in action and personally signed and etched items to take home.

THOSE ARE INCREDIBLE... I really really like them all!!

bet he would make some fuckin killer bowls

I'm sure that was awesome. You are one lucky Kitty. :glugglug

those are really awesome pics

That place is awesome

Amazing , where is this place ?

imagine the bongs that guy could make.:)

This is why you will never find me fully diving into porn with no looking back.

I worked in art for years, I even half install Dale Chihuly, I have drank with him at a party for his installation we did.

I have books of his w3ork, and have even sold some of his work to raise funds for kids.

He is a cool guy, never had drinks with a guy with one eye before him.

:)

ill, you know i was thinking the sammme thing:winkwink:

edit: lmao, everyone look how nerdy fletch is.. (you can tell he has no offline friends)

Very cool :thumbsup

that wud make one hell of a bong!!!

:thumbsup
top draw art work

If any of you know anything about Chihuly, he himself no longer blows glass, he has a team.

He lost an eye and i know the work carries his name and vision, but this is not the work of one guy.

I have seen them do this in person.

good stuff.

heh you guys made me bust you my olf art books.

I met him in 96.

here is his autograph in an art book of his work i picked up from the installation.

Dale Chihuly is one of my favorites.

Awesome looking work :thumbsup

Chihuly is awesome. Ever since I watched the Chihuly Over Venice documentary years ago I've been amazed at his work. And it's not just his work, but his complete dedication and passion for what he does is just so amazing.

Chihuly is :thumbsup :thumbsup

Excuse my ignorance, but his work is totally new to me. But amazing nevertheless.

Crazy stuff.

very nice

awesome stuff, i love blown glass

nice stuff -- do they search people for rocks before they go in?

really cool :thumbsup

best thing about Chihuly is things always break, but each piece is modular is is simply hung together like flowers in a bouquet. If one breaks the installation is not harmed and they can attatch another in its place.

I helped hand one of these huge hanging ones that was valued at over 1 million, I believe closer to 3, but its been since 96 so I dont recall, but one thing about the chandelier pieces is they move, they sway, and all the pieces move and its never the same which makes them even more appealing to look at.

I have laid down in Chihuly rooms with Chihuly blown glass ceilings and aid their for an hour juststaring into the glass pieces, its impossible to see it all, and all the details in the glass show stories like the rings in a tree.
