I'm a big fan of Chihuly's big glass and liken his robust whimsy to another of my favorite sculptors- David Smith. Okay- there are many differences- but there is no denying that the sheer bigness of their works takes on a life of it's own. Lucky for us, there's now a place to view some of Chihuly's grandeur-
