"Dale Chihuly: Installations" in Phoenix |
|
|
|
PHOENIX, ARIZONA.- The Phoenix Art Museum presents "Dale Chihuly: Installations," on view through June 23, 2002. The exhibition’s design at Phoenix Art Museum can be described in musical terms - a mix of quiet, smaller works and brash crescendos of baroque, dramatic pieces, creating a sense of drama as the viewer moves through the show. From a spectacular Chandelier, the visitor encounters a forest of multi-colored Macchias, a series that takes its name from the Italian word for "spotted." Revealed as the visitor moves through the exhibition are such works as the Italianate Ducale Tower with Putti, the spare Jerusalem Cylinders, a Persian wall composed of large circular roundels with rippled edges, exquisite Ikebanas reflecting the Japanese art of flower arranging, and the playful Niijima Floats, inspired by floats from fishing nets. Mexican Hat Sconce makes its debut at Phoenix Art Museum. Leading to the show’s finale is the Persian Seaform Ceiling, an enclosed hallway with dozens of varied glass forms that hover over the viewer with brilliant color and shadow. Also featured in Dale Chihuly: Installations are three Drawing Walls, mural-like grids of his colorful and energetic drawings.
