Projects
by Dale Chihuly, et al
Voluptuous shapes in luscious color, Dale Chihuly's large-scale glass
sculptures are all about immediate sensory experience. It's likely no book
could capture the intoxication of being in the presence of clusters of
glass forms that look like undersea life or tropical forests, hanging overhead
or rising up from the floor in fabulous splendor. Chihuly Projects offers
200 full-page photographs (in supersaturated color) of 34 installations
the Seattle artist created over a 30-year span for public and private clients,
plus chatty comments by the artist and members of his staff. A fine essay
by the art writer Barbara Rose places Chihuly's work in the context of
contemporary art and his own life. (An eye injury in the mid-'70s precipitated
his shift from blowing individual tabletop glass pieces to becoming the
director of a team effort.) But the photographs tend to flatten out Chihuly's
generous shapes, and the real-world settings of the sculptures are often
so busy visually that, seen from the fixed vantage point of a still photo,
they compete distractingly with the art. Although some pieces are shown
in different stages of completion, it's hard to grasp how any given project
actually comes together from start to finish. A splashy book that seems
to be trying to match the brio and outsized vision of its artist, Chihuly
Projects serves primarily as an eye-popping general tour of work that ranges
from a 70-by-30-foot ceiling for the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas to an
outdoor "chandelier" (for a retreat in Washington State) with 1,200 handblown
glass icicles--and an attached heater for melting snow to add hanging pendants
of real ice. --Cathy Curtis - Amazon.com
