This book presents the most flamboyant and whimsical of all Chihuly's series. The voluptuous glass pieces, shown in full-colour, were inspired by Art Deco Venetian glass during Chihuly's Fullbright scholarship in Venice.

This book presents the most flamboyant and whimsical of all Chihuly's series. The voluptuous glass pieces, shown in full-colour, were inspired by Art Deco Venetian glass during Chihuly's Fullbright scholarship in Venice. With collaboration between Chihuly and glass master Lino Tagliapietra, the series evolved over a period of only seven blowing sessions. Though at their core, the Venetians are vessels of some sort, they explode outward when wrapped with spiralling coils, leaves, feathers, and claws in startling colour combinations. Chihuly chronicles the evolution of the series in his reflective essay included in this volume. His bold and colourful drawings illustrate how the artist guided his team to make these pieces. This oversized book offers a breathtaking view of Chihuly's Venetians, which, more than any other of his series, embody personality and individual character. This book begins with an essay by Ron Glowen.

Seller's Description:
New. More than twenty years ago, Dale Chihuly arrived in Venice to study glassblowing as a Fulbright Fellow. Since that time, he has become known for continual invention and experimentation in his medium. During the 1980s, Chihuly revisited Venice and became captivated by a private Italian art deco glass collection. Back home, in a radical departure from his free-form sculptures, he explored--and interpreted--the traditional vessel. Master Venetian glassblower Lino Tagliapietra and a large U.S. team (up to fifteen glassblowers) took an exciting experimental approach in the hotshop and created some of the most exotic 'vessels' ever blown. Venetians offers readers full-color photographs of these fantastically sculpted vessels and drawings Chihuly made to guide the team. Brand new, sealed copy!
