Description: dale chihuly’s “IVORY LUSTER BASKET” GLASS SCULPTUREA set of three pieces, 2018 chihuly Studio edition Approximately 8½"H x 9½"W x 9½"DEvery year, Chihuly creates a new Studio Edition, representing Chihuly’s most distinctive series. As every piece is handblown, the artwork may vary slightly in size, color, and shape. Small blemishes or imperfections in the glass are part of the glass blowing process and add to the individual characteristics of each piece.Through the time-honored process of glass blowing, using few tools and relying on the forces of nature and human breath, Dale Chihuly achieved his vision to reimagine the aging and slumping Native American baskets he so admired. The 2018 Studio Edition Ivory Luster Basket, a strong statement in its simplicity, embodies the ephemeral, amorphous, and free-form attributes for which Chihuly’s forty-year-old Basket series is known. A thin veil of glass, stretched taut around the breath that initiated it, creates a spacious interior in which rest two smaller Basket elements, each varying in degrees of translucency and opacity. An oxblood wrap, beginning at the lip of each of the three forms, continues in a graceful, arcing extension that accentuates the dimensional presence of the entire composition.This sale also includes:The Chihuly Studio vitrine -- a Plexiglas fully-enclosed display case -- for the Ivory Luster Basket (this display case has never been unpacked or used) and will be contained within the original shipping container in which this work will be shipped. A brand new shrink-wrapped, unopened copy of the hardcover book: “Chihuly…On Color and Form” by Davira Taragin, essays on the artists' bodies of work that were initially part of a multi-volume edition published in 2009 and 2010. The texts have been updated slightly with some fresh observations about how this modern master continues to grow and refine his aesthetic and impact the art of today. Due to the fact that I am strictly an amateur when it comes to photography and measurements, there are likely to be some slight variations in measurements and the sharpness/color of the photos. I apologize, in advance, for such variations or errors. Also, due to the differences between computer monitors or the screens of various devices, the resolutions and colors may vary depending upon the device which is being used to view this listing. I will ship only to one of the lower 48 United States in the original Chihuly shipping container & packaging materials via insured carrier – signature required for receipt – at the flat rate of $145. If you request shipment toAlaska or Hawaii there will be an additional charge. Thank you,
