Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Dale Chihuly's gloriously organic glass sculptures grace galleries and public spaces around the world, and Chihuly over Venice follows the artist as he visits glassblowing studios across Europe and collaborates to create chandeliers for the first international Biennale of Glass in Venice. Behind-the-scenes glimpses of the hot, dirty work are cut in with shots of the canals and architecture of Venice to create a montage of a great artist working in a city with a long tradition of artistic excellence. We also get candid interviews with Chihuly and his assistants, which fill in the knowledge and history of the man himself, his work, and the community of glass artists in the Seattle area. Chihuly over Venice is a great package for anyone intrigued by the artistic process or enchanted by the sensuous curves of glass. --Rob Lightner

Product Description
Acclaimed glass artist Dale Chihuly goes on the road to the glass-blowing centers of the world to create a stunning 14-chandelier installation to hang over the canals and alleys of old Venice. Departing from their Seattle studio, Chihuly's team collaborates with master glass blowers at the Hackman factory in Finland, Waterford Crystal in Ireland, and VitroCrisa in Monterey, Mexico. As they create the fanciful, organic sculptures, Chihuly and members of his team talk about working together on the project before continuing to Venice for final assembly. Filmed in high-definition digital television with stereo sound, Chihuly Over Venice brilliantly captures the artistry and labor inherent in the glass-blowing craft and the spectacular beauty of Chihuly's vision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational, entertaining & beautifully made., December 31, 2000
By Carol A. Cahill (Rockland, MA USA) - See all my reviews
"Chihuly Over Venice" is a fabulous video that allows the viewer a glimpse into the interesting and exciting world of America's most colorful and talented glass artisan, Dale Chihuly. This video takes the viewer on a whirlwind tour through five different countries while following Chihuly and his merry band of glass-blowers on their quest to create the perfect "chandelier." This film is educational, entertaining, and oh-so beautifully made. It took my breath away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Alice through the looking glass..., November 23, 2000
That's the feeling you get viewing this.

This tape seems to go by so quickly, you can't believe it...

It's just that fasinating! What an artist! You can almost feel and taste the pieces that you see.

This was good enough to get me up and out of the house heading for the closest city that had a Chihuly exibit !

In person, these works are overpowering. I can only imagine what they must look like in person, out of doors, where they were made to be.

Also just watching the methods used even if they did not turn out to be so fantastic to look at is a real treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Absolutly amazing!, March 30, 2000
By Jill (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
I have never been this taken with any type of art before. I was flipping through channels when I saw one of these chandeliers on PBS, and sat in stunned amazement! This was the most beautiful glass making I had ever seen. Such an incredible mind this man has! All I can say is, I would like to travel to all these cities and see them up close, or I wish he would do them in Chicago!
