Art Talk: Chihuly in Oklahoma

Another Chihuly post from me. This is the last of my Eclipse trip. The airline prices were so high to fly into Dallas for the eclipse. So we flew in and out of Oklahoma City and drove over to Texas.

Because we were going to be in Oklahoma we went to see Chihuly at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. It was a special 20 year celebration.

I love the colors and shapes of the glass ceilings! It is mesmerizing.

All types of his glass was represented and I had never seen the red and black Seal Pups below.

There is a permeant statement piece as you enter the museum. It is really spectacular.

Baskets

Inspired by southwest Indian blankets

Jerusalem 2000 Cylinders


Putti

The putti are the pieces that surprise me each time. I don't look at them and think Chihuly like I do with a lot of his other pieces.

Macchia

Ikebana

Reeds

Ikabena Boat

Seaforms

These blue seaforms are GORGEOUS!


Rotolos

Drawings

I really like Chihuly's drawings or paintings too!

Hope you enjoyed this tour of the Chihuly exhibition at Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
