I'm so excited about this exhibit. I'm hoping I can arrange to see it at the deYoung.

I caught a glimpse of this beauty just as I was leaving the theater, and thought that looked like a Chiluly out of the corner of my eye - I had to stop and get a better look. I've only ever seen them in photos, but I am always entranced by his work. How amazing it must be to see in person! Lovely photo, Tara~xOx

I sat and marveled at this for almost a half an hour. His work is just breathtaking. And, I almost missed it! If I hadn't gone to the gift shop! Can you imagine hanging one of his pieces. No thank you.

His work is amazing, isn't it? We have a Chiluly glass ceiling in our little art museum in Naples, and it's just breathtaking.

Ah, Chiluly! I saw a documentary on him once. The word genius is bandied about carelessly these days, but he is truly a *genius*!

As long as we have imagination -- to create such beauty -- the world will always be a beautiful place. This is an incredible piece of art.

I agree, a fantastic piece of art. I saw a few of his (?) installations at Paradise Island in the Bahamas, they are so breathtaking. Oh to afford a wee installation at the spa...lol!
