“Extraordinary, magical glass is his stock-in-trade, and the Silvered series is among the most technically ambitious and aesthetically adventurous art of his career—so far.”

–Jennifer Opie

Additional Insights

Chihuly first experimented with the effects of silvered glass in 1996, but it wasn’t until 2009 that he began to explore the full range of possibilities that silvering glass could have for his work, particularly the Cylinders and Venetians series. The Silvered series that emerged from this experimentation is striking and singular for its stunning use of color and light.
