Part of Chihuly's celebrated Seaform series, the sculpture features fluid, undulating contours inspired by marine life and natural phenomena. Its translucent azure body is animated by delicate white radial striping that converges at the center, creating a striking sense of movement and depth. A vivid yellow lip wrap outlines the irregular rim, providing a bold visual contrast that accentuates the work's sculptural silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-blown in 2006, the piece reflects Chihuly's collaborative studio practice and his mastery of color, scale, and form. The interplay of transparency, light, and pattern allows the sculpture to shift in appearance depending on its viewing angle and surrounding illumination, qualities that have become hallmarks of the artist's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture measures 4.25 x 7.5 x 5.5 inches and is engraved \"Chihuly 2006\". It is accompanied by a Gallery Certificate of Authenticity. The work is in very good overall condition, with a minor imperfection to the yellow lip wrap that does not detract from its visual presence or display qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Dale Chihuly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDale Chihuly (American, b. 1941) is an internationally recognized contemporary artist whose innovative work transformed the perception of glass from a functional craft into a monumental fine art medium. Born in Tacoma, Washington, Chihuly studied interior design at the University of Washington before earning an M.S. in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He later studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he eventually served as head of the glass program, and continued his education at the Venini glassworks in Murano, Italy, where he refined his understanding of traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, Chihuly co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington, an institution that became one of the world's leading centers for glass art education and innovation. Throughout his career, he has developed numerous celebrated series, including Baskets, Seaforms, Macchia, Persians, Ikebana, Chandeliers, and Fiori, each distinguished by vibrant color, organic forms, and technical experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing a shoulder injury in 1976 and the loss of vision in one eye in 1979, Chihuly shifted from personally blowing glass to directing teams of skilled artisans, embracing a collaborative studio practice that enabled the creation of increasingly ambitious installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChihuly's sculptures and large-scale installations have been exhibited in major museums, botanical gardens, and public spaces worldwide. His work is represented in numerous public and private collections and has played a significant role in expanding the possibilities and global appreciation of contemporary glass art. Today, Chihuly remains one of the most influential and widely recognized figures in the history of studio glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artist - Dale Chihuly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49036289769626,"sku":"93765689276464","price":6250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1414\/9028\/files\/dale-chihuly-azure-seaform-with-yellow-lip-wrap-2006-handblown-glass-signed-detail1.jpg?v=1787163639","url":"https:\/\/modernartifact.com\/products\/dale-chihuly-azure-seaform-with-yellow-lip-wrap-2006-signed-handblown-glass","provider":"Modern Artifact","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
