Dale Chihuly's new Black Glass Vessels


Thomas Hoving of Artnet.com met with Dale Chihuly and reviews his glass works.   And when he saw Chihuly's pieces, he "went bananas."  

Dale Chihuly is probably the most influential and famous contemporary glass artist. The video is short but sweet. It shows some of Chihuly's new works as well as how he shapes and decorates them. I really enjoyed seeing some of what goes into making these fantastic glass sculptures. Thomas Hoving's enthusiasm is also fun to listen to during his interviews. Enjoy.

P.S. Did you notice that Chihuly wears an eye-patch?
