Works of Art I Know


Violet Persian Set with Red Lip Wraps Glass
Dale Chihuly
American

My first impressions:
I have no idea how Chihuly can create these really large sculptures. The intricate patterns and colors look like they have taken lots of time. I like how he purposely makes some areas opaque and others translucent to let the right amount of light seep in and reflect off.

What I have learned:
The dimensions of this sculpture are 76.3 x 66 x 63.5 cm. It is located in the Spencer museum of art in Lawrence, Kansas.
