Dale Chihuly (American, b. 1941) Venetian, 1991 Blown glass 24-1/2 x 15-1/2 x 11-1/2 inches (62.2 x 39.4 x 29.2 cm) Signed to body Chihuly, '91 Dale Chihuly’s Venetian series was inspired by the glass made in Murano, Venice, where Chihuly studied during his Fulbright scholarship in the late 1980s. Working with master glassblower Lino Tagliapietra, Chihuly created a series of opulent works, exploring his interest in Art Deco glass, yet taking his forms beyond simple forms with swooping, colorful, embelishments. The resulting unique works are some of the most singular of Chihuly’s works, and are a highly collectible chapter of his storied career. HID03101062020 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
