Chihuly began exploring printmaking techniques such as lithography, intaglio, drypoint, and woodcut, with fine art print masters in the 1980s. The result of this work is a series of limited-edition, fine art prints which recall Chihuly’s work in glass and express his unmistakable drawing style.
In 1994, Chihuly began creating Studio Edition glass sculptures drawn from his most iconic series—Baskets, Seaforms, Macchia, and Persians. Handblown, as are his original works, these artworks are created in multiples, exhibiting slight variations in color and form.
