Dale Chihuly
PAPRIKA PERSIAN, 2023
CHIHULY STUDIO EDITION
Edition 33 of 135
Signed by the artist and etched with edition number
Approximately 8"H x 10"W x 10"DAbout the Piece
Dale Chihuly discovered a way to express the motion and fluidity of liquid glass in his series the Persians. Marked by saturated color, vibrant striations, and exotic forms, the Persians radiate an elegant vitality.
The 2023 Paprika Persian Studio Edition is a fusion of form with opaque and translucent colors, which optimize the reflection of light illuminating the sculpture’s rich jewel tones and its distinctive arcs. A combined body wrap of sheer mahogany red and candescent amber spirals from the composition’s center to its very edges, while an opaque chestnut orange gilds the periphery of the form and a teal blue lip wrap captures the momentum of the sculpture.
Every year, Chihuly creates new Studio Editions, representing Chihuly’s most distinctive series. As every piece is handblown, your artwork may vary slightly in size, color, and shape. Small blemishes or imperfections in the glass are part of the glass blowing process and add to the individual characteristics of each piece.
About the Artist
Born in Tacoma, Washington in 1941, Dale Chihuly has become one of the most recognized artists of his time. He is credited for pushing the boundaries of the glass medium, a previously considered fragile material, from singular symmetrical forms into towering and gravity defying assembled sculptures. Chihuly’s energetic and magnificent artworks are created in a hot shop with the assistance of a team of glass blowers, the same method practiced among traditional Italian glass artisans for centuries. Over his career, Chihuly has mastered the alluring, translucent and transparent qualities of glass in an effort to create works of art that transform the viewing experience. His unique artistic vision and desire to experiment with this medium in terms of scale and range of color has led to the elevation of the art form. Education and collaboration among artists has always been essential to Chihuly, who continues to inspire new generations of glassmakers.
