CHIHULY GARDEN INSTALLATIONS SIGNED LIMITED FIRST EDITION

Chihuly Garden Installations explores the results of Dale Chihuly’s investigation into designing site-specific installations for some of the world’s preeminent gardens and conservatories. This handsomely illustrated book follows this investigation from its beginning at Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago through botanic, tropical, sculpture, and desert gardens, ending with his installation at Cheekwood in Nashville. Tracing the correspondence between his art and botanical life, Chihuly Garden Installations shows how the exchange between art and nature can shift from the harmonious and tranquil to stunning juxtapositions of scale and color. Chihuly Garden Installations showcases the ever-fascinating arrangement of Chihuly’s unique glass sculptures among the natural beauty of the plants, flowers, and landscapes of these astounding gardens.

To celebrate the publication of Chihuly Garden Installations, Portland Press has released a limited, signed and numbered first edition which comes in a unique, archival quality clothbound presentation case with the artist’s name embossed in gold across the front cover. This book is the most comprehensive survey of Chihuly’s installations in some the world’s foremost botanical gardens and conservatories. With over two hundred color photographs and essays by leading art critic David Ebony and landscape historian Tim Richardson, this limited edition is the definitive title for both admirers of Chihuly’s work and collectors of rare, fine art books.
