This event has ended.

Chihuly describes his specific approach to the Marlborough installation: “In comparison to earlier work, the Chelsea installation is more open. I have always been interested in architectural spaces and how a work of art can bring energy and attention to a room. For Chelsea’s large ground floor gallery, I wanted to create an installation that is dramatic and powerful. I do that with form, light and color. The magic is in the light.” Each Persian glass element is dramatically lit to bring out the details in the white, clear and red glass. Chihuly remarks that this reduced palette emphasizes the delicate nature of the individual works, seen clearly upon close inspection. He continues, “Light plays a key role in the Chelsea Persians. During the day when natural light floods the space, the glass is subdued, but at night the Persians are lit dramatically, creating excitement and a sense of movement.”
