An exhibition of works by Dale Chihuly closed recently at Artis Naples. Red Reeds was exhibited outside, in the space between the performance spaces and the Baker Museum. Two generous couples joined together to buy the installation for Artis Naples' permanent collection.
The work consists of 145 glass pieces 123 inches (10.25 feet) in height, 512 inches (42.5 feet) wide and 21 inches deep. The glass is so long that the Chihuly team had to build the pieces in one-of-a-kind long annealing ovens in Finland.

Not sure what to say.
They look so fragile. I wonder what happens during storms?
They do set off the building, and it's bland wall and window look great behind the sculpture. Its fragility does make one wonder how long it will be standing there.
Fascinating!
Recognized this at Chihuly glass. I do enjoy seeing his work.
