Label TextWhile the shimmering brilliance of traditional glass chandeliers results from internal illumination, Dale Chihuly’s Chandeliers reflect light from their luminous surfaces, creating a dazzling visual experience. Chihuly created the Azure Icicle Chandelier specifically for this space in the museum’s gallery bridge, where the artwork plays off of the water, light, and glass on each side of the gallery space.

Mientras que el resplandeciente brillo de las arañas de vidrio tradicionales proviene de su iluminación interna, la serie Arañas de Dale Chihuly refleja la luz de sus superficies luminosas, creando una experiencia visual deslumbrante. Chihuly creó la Araña témpano azul celeste específicamente para este espacio del puente de las galerías del museo, donde se establece un juego entre la obra de arte y el agua, la luz y el vidrio que hay a cada lado del espacio de la galería.
