Label TextIn 1986 the Persian series was developed by Chihuly along with Martin Blank as gaffer. Persians “are an exploration of form, shape and color—a celebration of wild asymmetry and swirling pattern. They have an ancient sensibility, and for Chihuly, conjure notions of Venice, and the Near and Far East.” (from Chihuly.com) The intensely colored studio production work Parrot Green Persian in the permanent collection is c. 2001 and is a recent donation to University Museums.
