Chihuly: Chihuly Over Venice
Bound like an artist’s sketchbook this book documents the culmination of this amazing artistic odyssey that took the artist from his Seattle Boathouse hot shop to Nuutajarvi, Finland; Waterford, Ireland; Monterrey, Mexico; and finally Venice to blow glass. In the factories in those locations, Chihuly and his team of American glass blowers worked with native artisans more accustomed to making functional objects than art. Together they created the 14 chandeliers that graced the campos and canals of Venice for a remarkable time in September 1996.
Dale Chihuly: Glass
Dale Chihuly has transformed the perception of the glass medium from one used primarily for decorative vessels to a sculptured medium of almost unlimited possibilities. His undulating vases and sculptures, with their ruffled edges, biomorphic forms and varied colorings are reminiscent of tropical shells and flowers. He excels in producing work that tests the technical limits of his medium and shows off the interaction of glass and light.
“On Gordy’s Last Works,” New Orleans Art Review
Few artists are willing to expose their souls on the very surface of their work. It takes extraordinary courage. Painter Robert Gordy (1933-1986), in the last years if his life, after a 30-year career ushered chiefly by a beautiful but emotionally harnessed style, had that courage. He also had the skill and intelligence to wield such a personal enterprise into something that would daunt no one, all the while ringing with authenticity. The consequence was a new unfettered posture and a new series of works – mostly portrait heads and mostly monotypes.
