Description:
Dale Chihuly's obsession with color and his insatiable desire to experiment inspired his Macchia (Italian for spot or stain) series. "Chihuly alla Macchia" traces its development from the first small, oddly shaped, grotesquely colored vessels, dubbed the "uglies" by Chihuly's forthright mother when they began in 1981, to the recent flamboyant and exuberantly hued Macchia.
