Dale Chihuly is the master when it comes to glass. He is one of four American artists to have a one-person exhibition at the Louvre. If you’ve ever seen his work—you’d remember it! In Chihuly Bellagio his largest public installation is described in detail. It was a huge undertaking—2,000 pieces of hand-blown glass supported by 10,000 pounds of steel armature—all designed by Chihuly and lighting the lobby of the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The short companion DVD explains the process and provides and inside look of his studio. If you can’t make it to Las Vegas you can see some of Chihuly’s work right here in Michigan, The Flint Art Institute and the Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids have a few of his beautiful pieces.DB
