Interpretive NotesThis is an example of one of Dale Chihuly's best-known series - the "Venetians". This ongoing series pays homage to historical Venetian glass, which is an important inspiration to glassmakers today.
Chihuly is an internationally celebrated personality in contemporary art and design whose prominence in the field of studio glass is unmatched. From the beginning of his involvement with glass in the 1960s, Chihuly has focused on the sculptural qualities of the material, using the blown vessel as a vehicle for the exploration of color and form
