When Chihuly Returned

 

My little review of all the garden art exhibits that have passed through the Desert Botanical Garden over the years got interrupted by photos from my most recent outings.  So now I'll resume the posts going back to November of 2013 when Chihuly returned to the garden with a second exhibit.  The garden was especially honored to get a second visit from this fabulous artist because he has a rule of not exhibiting in the same location twice.  However, he really loved the desert setting here and thought it brought out the best in his glass creations.  

I posted many photos of these beautiful glass creations between November of 2013 and May of 2014 when the show ended.  I was lucky enough to be there while the glass creations were being taken down so I even posted photos as they dismantled and packed up these elaborate pieces.

Chihuly's work speaks to my soul so I could look at these over and over and never tire of them.  And now I can look at them often because between the two exhibits at the garden and my trip to his museum in Seattle I have many, many photos to enjoy.  He really is one of my favorite contemporary artists.
