The glass artist Dale Chihuly had an extensive exhibit up at Pepperdine University while I was working in Malibu last year. Linda had to deal with the same artist at the Berkeley Art Museum. (Thank heavens I didn't have to assemble it. What a tedious and terrifying experience - "Oh no! I just dropped piece seven hundred and fifty A point two! Now the whole sculpture will fall over!") Starting this month Chihuly's beautifully wrought blown glass is coming to the New York Botanical Garden. I can't think of a better place to show off his organically inspired art. Lush garden setting + colorful textural glass = totally sweet.
