Jean Harlan, Judy Bridges and Dave Blank at the Franklin Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio.
An exhibition of Dale Chihulys glass artwork at Franklin Park Conservatory in 2003 and 2004 drew a record number of visitors and made a lasting impression on all who viewed it. Installations of Chihulys vibrant work were placed throughout the Conservatory, among the plant collections. In the summer of 2004, The Friends of the Conservatory - a private, nonprofit group - purchased most of the pieces included in that exhibition for Franklin Park Conservatory. It is the largest collection owned by a conservatory or botanical garden.
The full collection represented by thousands of individually blown glass elements is now on view, along with new work by this world-renowned artist in an exhibition titled Chihuly Reimagined. While a few installations will be familiar to visitors who experienced Chihuly at the Conservatory in 2003 and 2004, most are presented in new locations or different configurations. Three new installations from Chihuly Studio are included in the exhibitoion.
Beautiful artwork I wish my brother could have seen it. Good thing some of it is still there.
