Fire

I got this book for my girlfriend after seeing some of Mr. Chihuly's art at the local museum. The pictures shown in this book are very well done. Some of the things that are done with glass are simply amazing. And to think some of these pieces are over 10 foot tall. If you are a Chihuly fan, this is a great book, and Amazon makes it a great buy.

Beautiful book filled with beautiful photos of Dale Chihuly's amazing art. If you are a fan of his or even if you aren't this is a great coffee table book. I purchased it for my uncle, a fan of glass artwork, for Christmas. He was not familiar with Chihuly's work. Now he is! So happy I found this.

After seeing Chihuly glass in person, I had to have a book that showed as many photos as possible. FIRE was a perfect choice.

Awesome book for a great price! Thanks so much!

Love the story and photography. Interesting and beautiful

Forty-eight additional photographs illustrate Chihuly's life, family, and friends, and the book closes with a complete list of museums where his work can be found.2006 Hardcover 9 x 12"176 pages, 101 Color Reproductions

Love Chihuly's stuff, but can't get to the places his work is at? This book has lots of pictures of his work. (Not as much as the Chihuly project book but not as expensive eather!) Great book for visual people who love glass and color.

I enjoy the numerous photos of these fantastic glass artworks
