Who is Chihuly?

Dale Chihuly is an American glass artist. He is famous for his site-specific installations in public spaces and exhibitions in museums and gardens around the world.

I made this trip to the New York Botanical Gardens mainly to enjoy the Chihuly exhibition. I've seen some of his breathtaking works before at a casino, but not his whole collection like this.

I crossed the street, waited for the train, 25-minute train ride took me back to Grand Central Terminal. Bought dinner at Grand Central market and walked home with a big smile on my face.

Thanks for your time, my friends.
Have a great day.

The glass work reminds me of the ceiling of the Belagio in Las Vegas, very similar work, vibrant colors.

dewdrop (56) · 7 years ago

I think it's from the same artist. He has a factory and lots of people working for him.

This artist is a genius! He treated glass just like handling thin paper. He could even paint inside the glass texture! The design conception and execution of blowing the glass into all the different shapes are just mind boggling!

This glass exhibition is unique. Wonderful art exhibition!!
Thank you for the excellent work.
