Label TextIn 1986, just as Chihuly’s career was beginning to take off, the Brunnier Art Museum hosted his exhibition Dale Chihuly: A Decade of Glass. As a result, the ethereal "Sea Forms" (1985) was acquired for the permanent collection. Chihuly began creating his Seaform series in 1980. Inspired by the living ocean and its creatures, Chihuly created this beautiful and fragile series of sculptures. The second Seaform in the permanent collection is this vibrant fire-colored studio production work "Orange and Red Seaform," c. 1990-96.
