Chihuly’s first concept form for his Chandeliers premiered at the 1992 Seattle Art Museum exhibition. The series, which reflects the artist’s longtime interest in architecture, was further explored and perfected during preparation for Chihuly Over Venice, an ambitious two-year project.

Chandeliers can be made from as many as 1,000 individual pieces of glass. The elements that comprise Chandeliers can be bulbous, long and twisted, short and spiraled, and even frog-footed. Carefully arranged and attached to a
specially-designed steel armature, the many forms combine to create an intricate suspended composition.

Here is the Burnished Amber, Citron, and Teal Chandelier at Biltmore made in 2017.

American artist Dale Chihuly shattered established boundaries of glass as an art medium creating masterpieces of marvelous color, form, and light.

Chihuly at Biltmore represents the first art exhibition in Biltmore’s historic gardens and the first garden exhibition of Chihuly’s works in North Carolina. The exhibition is currently going on at Biltmore Estate and Gardens in Asheville, North Carolina.

Will be posting a series of images taken during the day and night.
