Art Every Wednesday (27)

Dale Chihuly is one of the premier workers of glass art in the world. His pieces have been featured in museum all over the world. I have had the privileged to see two of his installations and they are breathtaking. The first was an 80 foot pillar of blown glass and the second was a series of chandeliers hung in the Mayo clinic.

I actually know who Dale Chihuly. My mom likes art glass. I thought it was interesting that you talked about him. It seems kind of obscure as far as art goes but it is pretty awesome.
