Synopsis:

Experience a journey with 166 color photographs and detailed sections that profile each of Chihuly's iconic series: Cylinders, Baskets, Seaforms, Macchia, Soft Cylinders, Persians, Venetians, Putti, Ikebana, Jerusalem Cylinders and his later monochromatic approach to the use of black, clear, silvered, and white glass as the base color for his work. Discover in detail Chihuly's newest series, the Rotolo, inspired by his Venetians. As with his other series, Chihuly continues to push the threshold of how large and complex an object can be made of glass.
