Sapphire Star (581A0814)
Sapphire Star is composed of hundreds of spires, a form that Chihuly originally developed in the late 1990’s for a project in his native Pacific Northwest. In this sculpture, each element changes from a rich opaque blue at its base to clear at its tip. This intentional application of color creates the dense blue core and radiant effect of Sapphire Star. When viewed at night, the artwork seems to hover above the landscape.
