Azure Icicle Chandelier
While the shimmering brilliance of traditional glass chandeliers results from internal illumination, Dale Chihuly’s Chandeliers reflect light from their luminous surfaces, creating a dazzling visual experience. Chihuly created the Azure Icicle Chandelier specifically for this space in the museum’s gallery bridge, where the artwork plays off of the water, light, and glass on each side of the gallery space.
