Sterling Floats’, 2019, Serigraph with handwork by Dale Chihuly>Paul Smith Best

Dale Chihuly began developing his body of work titled "Niijima Floats" in 1991 creating, at that time, some of the largest pieces of glass ever blown by hand. Over the last two decades, these multi-hued spheres have become integral to Chihuly’s garden exhibitions, often presented in groupings floating on water or within installations of ‘Mille Fiori’. ‘Sterling Floats’ offers a two-dimensional representation of this series in glass with each form defined by pewter and black acrylic paint. Vibrant red and yellow dots speckle the interiors providing energy and momentum as the two Floats ricochet across the field of view.All Dale Chihuly Fine Art Prints are signed by Dale Chihuly and numbered. Prints with handwork are created by drawing with paint onto existing prints after they are pulled from the press.
