Time for a bit of culture.
Dale Chihuly just blows my mind. What really freaked me out was the total lack of any Chihuly pieces on display in the Seattle Art Museum when I went there last year. Sure I know the guy lives in Tacoma, and there’s a whole museum devoted to glass art in Tacoma, but you’d think SAM would want to represent a Northwest local who figures so large in the art scene.
Anyway, here’s one of Chihuly’s latest, the Sun at Kew Gardens, which was installed in February 2005.
Never mind my bitching. Looks like I was just a year too early for the art glass show at SAM. I was still bitterly disappointed at the permanent collections on display at the Seattle Art Museum.
