Reviews

[Phillip]

Nice pictures. Beautiful Artwork. Video details Installation, but there is minimal descriptive text in book except for Chihuly Life Timeline

[Adrienne Y]

The glass pictures don't do a great job of capturing the light in the installation. Too many distant pictures of these installation, too few pictures of individual forms. Too little explanatory text
