Enhanced for the reader with the inclusion of an informed and informative essay

Art springs from the imagination of the artist and is as diverse in range, scope and composition as the talents, life experiences, and mediums employed by them. Dale Chihuly is an artist living and working in Washington state. "Chihuly Black" is an elegantly black leather bound, 208-page, coffee-table compendium showcasing 138 spectacular full color photographs of the best of his work with blown glass sculptures. For more than 30 years Dale Chihuly's work has been recognized for its artistic merit and displayed in a number of museums and his sculptures established in site-specific public places around the world. Enhanced for the reader with the inclusion of an informed and informative essay by Barbara Rose on the historical relevance of black works in glass and Chihuly's influence in glass sculpture, "Chihuly Black" is a seminal work whose inclusion into personal, professional, and academic library Art History reference collections must be considered essential.
