Chihuly’s iconic Summer Sun brightens the walkway in front of the Palm House at Kew Gardens.
During a visit to Kew Gardens near London earlier this month, I was delighted to discover a Reflections on Nature exhibit by renowned American glass artist Dale Chihuly.
Some pieces, such as the iconic Summer Sun and Red Reeds, appeared at Denver Botanic Gardens in 2014. Those and other familiar pieces showed up at Kew, as well, along with other, newer pieces.
Besides displaying Chihuly’s work among plants, Kew Gardens presented an extensive variety of additional works in its Shirley Sherwood Gallery.
The show runs from April 13 to October 27, 2019.
