A Day
of Chihuly
Friday, March 19, 2010
In 2003 and 2004, the Franklin Park
Conservatory hosted the artworks of Dale Chihuly. This was
without a doubt a huge success. The Friends of the Conservatory
purchased most of these glass artworks. They have the only
public Botanical Garden in the world with Chihuly's signature
artwork.
Chihuly Illuminated at the Columbus Museum of Art ex-plores
the groundbreaking artwork of Dale Chihuly. This exhibition
focuses on the element of light intrinsic to Dale Chihuly's art
and includes works never before seen in Columbus From the Mille
Fiori, a 56-foot garden of glass, to Glass Forest #3, a white
milk-glass neon installation, Chihuly Illuminated challenges
convention with a feast of bold color, dramatic forms, and
extraordinary composition.
Lunch at the Museum of Art.
Meet at
The Market on State at 8:30 AM
To make a reservation, please
contact Margaret Murrey at 593-8796 or email mfmurrey at columbus.rr.com
by March 17. Hope you can join us! |
