Chihuly in the Desert

Red glass shards rise up amid green saguaros at Desert Botanical Garden, one of two Phoenix-area sites showing artworks by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. They’re part of “Chihuly in the Desert,” a collaborative exhibition undertaken with Taliesin West in Scottsdale, where tall red forms interspersed with glass orbs ascend from a pool of water as if reaching for the desert sky.

The exhibition highlights the intersection of nature, art, and architecture,  through large-scale installations set outdoors.
