Description

The winning bidder will receive a set (2) of books about one of the best known glass artists in America, Dale Chihuly. Both book are about his artwork and are signed by Chihuly himself.


Chihuly Black: A book of essays by Barbara Rose and Dale Chihuly. Chihuly's black works combine the dominant use of black intensified with the dynamic use of color throughout each glass blown sculpture. Dramatic contrast forces the eye directly to the form and to the exuded colors. Burned Drawings, an essay by Dale Chihuly, introduces the book.


Chihuly Monograph: Designed by the award-winning Massimo Vignelli, Chihuly Monograph presents the definitive view of the artist to date. The 248 color reproductions of Chihuly's glass works and drawings, often accompanied by informative quotes by critics and the artist himself; the photographs of Chihuly at work; and the snapshots from his personal archives reveal the art and the man behind this extraordinary body of work.
