Green cloth over boards, essay by Tina Oldknow, 104 pages, Notes, Selected Museum Collections, Public and Corporate Collections and Installations, extensively illustrated with full page color photographs. From the dust jacket: "Chihuly works in series, though not consecutively. Each piece influences the next and circles back to expand in size, color range, and possibilities for groupings and installations. This is perhaps nowhere more true than the Persian series, which began as the search for new forms. The Persians, variously shaped and intricately patterned, grew out of many technical experiments involving pulling the molten glass, using optical molds, and body wraps in dazzling colors. The resulting series is marked by busy, striped surfaces, supple and elastic forms, and an overall aura evocative of the ancient Middle East, Byzantium and Venice." Quantity Available: 1.
