Accompanied by a DVD that includes interviews with the artist

Dale Chihuly is a Seattle-based artist whose glass sculptures have been displayed in museums and public exhibitions around the country. Now Portland Press has published the first three of a ten-title series showcasing Chihuly's work. "Chihuly Putti" is a profusely illustrated presentation showcasing some of the artist's most unusual and artistic works. "Chihuly Chandeliers & Towers" represents glass sculptures of considerable size, some of which are more than 43 feet in height. "Chihuly Baskets" focuses on works created with the artist's mastery of glassblowing techniques resulting in works inspired by Native American baskets in color and form. Each of these beautifully illustrated little volumes is accompanied by a DVD that includes interviews with the artist. Very highly and enthusiastically recommended for personal, professional, academic, and community library American Art History collections, it should be noted that Portland Press will publisher the remaining seven titles in this remarkable and memorable series throughout 2010.
