5.0 out of 5 stars It is Chihuly! Takes your breath away!, April 12, 2008

My wife and I were in Jerusalem and had the honor and priviledge of actually seeing this masterpiece. The book captures the essence of Chihuly's work, from the snow in Jerusalem, to the magnificents of his pieces. It could never capture the feeling we got actually seeing this work of art in person. But it brought back fantastic memories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly Magic, July 29, 2007

Chihuly in Jerusalem is a work of art in and of itself. The massive color spreads of Chihuly's genius creations are brilliant. Chihuly's gorgeous pieces juxtaposed with some of Jerusalem's most beautiful icons will bring inspiration to the hearts of both Jews and non-Jews. This art transcends place, time and religion. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most amazing coffee table book of ancient stone and modern glass, February 22, 2007

What could be more beautiful than the two-thousand-years old stones of Jerusalem?

Marrying it with his magnificent works of glass, Chihuly celebrated the history of David Citadel with his art. The indestructible fortress that had withstood generations of enemy attacks is juxtaposed with the most fragile of all materials--glass.

There is no better example than "one picture is worth a thousand words" than this coffee-table book, an album of beauty and tradition and deep roots to be cherished and share.
