Thank you for the use of your glass house, your landscape and your river.” An artist's portfolio, Chihuly Over Venice, Nuutajarvi, Finland is a beautiful display of photos and drawings from Dale Chihuly's experience in Finland in June 1995. Chihuly decided to create his fantastic Chandeliers in the world's great glass centers, and he began in the tiny village of Nuutajarvi, north of Helsinki. Working with the artisans of the Hackman factory, well known for its production of modernist designs, Chihuly and his American glassblowers created the first of fourteen Chandeliers that were to be installed in Venice the following year. This oversize, loose-leaf portfolio documents that exuberant session. Photographs record the installations that temporarily transformed the Finnish landscape. Also included are reproductions of the drawings that inspired the glass works. 29 separate pages. Folio measures 13” x 19”, with ribbon closure. CONDITION: Excellent vintage, preowned condition. Covers have light wear and marks to back. Cover has original string to close the portfolio together. Pages are separate from binding, complete in excellent shape. Light wear to page edges. See photos for details. Please message for any questions, thanks.
