Just as the catalog title "Tutti Putti" implies, it's all putti, those cherubic figures with the corkscrew curls and mischievous expressions. Working with the Italian maestro of hot-glass sculpting, Pino Signoretto, Dale Chihuly has created a company of pudgy putti to cavort on his Venetians and frolic among the blossoms of the Ikebana. Published on the occasion of Chihuly's 1991 solo exhibition at the Pence Gallery in Santa Monica, the text-less catalog proves that a picture is worth a thousand words. Here it adds up to 25,000 with the luscious close-up views of the works and how they are made by photographers Russell Johnson and Nick Gunderson.
