Red Amber Persian Pair, 2010

Dale Chihuly’s Persian series, with their swirling forms, opulent color, and enigmatic shapes, recalls a rich kaleidoscope of far-off lands, bygone empires, and intriguing mystique. Artist and art critic Walter Darby Bannard notes, “In Chihuly’s Persians, I see a profound connection to the past, but it is a subtle and mysterious connection as complex as the history of Persia itself.” The Persians capture a timeless history communicated through the whisper of art.

The Red Amber Persian Pair combines the lithe, beguiling lines of Chihuly’s Persian series with the rich, saturated colors for which the artist is renowned. The two elements, each accented with a slender serpentine body wrap, sensuously interlace to form an intuitive union.

Signed by the artist, the handblown Red Amber Persian Pair measures approximately 11 inches across and is accompanied by a Plexiglas display case and the hardcover book Chihuly Persians. The 104-page Portland Press publication, with an essay by Tina Oldknow, offers an intriguing study of this captivating series.

The exotic essence of the Persians is epitomized in the lavish form and hue of the Red Amber Persian Pair—a 2010 Studio Edition that is a welcome addition to any fine art collection.
