Palazzo Ducale Chandelier 1997, Dale Chihuly, U.S.A This 2.7-meter high, 2.4-meter-wide chandelier lying at the center of the pond is comprised of over 500 glass pieces, standing out for its form, which rises from the ground to the sky. This work was made in 1997 as part of the same series as the chandelier installed in the Palazzo Ducale for the "Chihuly over Venice" installation held across Venice in 1996.
VEGETAZIONE 1995, Livio Seguso, Venice This work seems to move as if the trees were fluttering in the wind. It was named from the Italian word that describes the way plants grow in clusters. The pipe-shaped transparent glass flutters as if shaped by the wind and reflects how the light changes depending on the time of day as well as the changing seasons, creating harmony with the surrounding nature. Made for the 100th anniversary of the Venice Biennale in 1995, this highly acclaimed work was exhibited in a lagoon, a unique Venetian environment..
Onion 1996〜, Dale Chihuly, U.S.A These colorful "Onions" have been produced since 1996 and exhibited worldwide in many ways, such as floating on water or arranged on the ground. Many also know it as the beloved "Walla Wallas", derived from the sweet onion production site near Chihuly's hometown, Seattle.
Red Reed Dale Chihuly The red glass tube is a spatial artwork by Dale Chihuly, who studied glass making on the island of Murano, Italy. The tubes were carefully stretched one by one using a glass-blowing technique, evoking the image of reeds growing in clusters along the water's edge. These tubes are strangely full of vitality, reminiscent of new life budding from the earth's surface.
