CHIHULY COURTYARDS

"A tour-de-force celebration of a successful partnership between the Academy and the artist" is how Sarah E. Bremser, assistant curator of Western Art at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, describes the 1992 exhibition, "Chihuly Courtyards." Inspired by the courtyards of the Hawaiian museum, Dale Chihuly designed four installations featuring works from his Macchia, Ikebana, Chandelier, and Niijima Floats series. Through the 17 full-color photographs, readers can experience the effect of these installations. 20,000 Pounds of Ice, the neon-and-ice installation, created to celebrate the opening of the exhibition, is also captured in this concise chronicle of the exhibition. Bremser offers a succinct overview of Chihuly's oeuvre and discusses the stunning installations of the unique exhibition in her essay.
