Dale Chihuly’s installations do not only appear in Museum’s. Two Chandeliers were set up at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California.

These chandeliers were specifically designed to hang between the towers, bordering the courtyard. Each chandelier contained a different color-scheme, but both were vivid colors that could serve as an inspiration to the…

Corresponding structures on opposite sides of the passages converge near the ceiling at an acute angle, creating what appears to be the perimeter of a triangle without a base, when viewing from the mouth of the artwork. These frameworks are visually similar to elongated strips of windows, due to the quadrilaterals of…

After going to see a Kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, I fell in love with the strange shape of the building rather than the ones in the modern artist’s paintings.

I have been hooked on how modern Frank…

In hearing wonderful comments about the Kohler Arts Center’s support for the Arts, is why I choose this place to visit for my field investigation. The history of the Kohler Arts center starts with the Sheboygan Arts Foundation, which was created in 1959 with Mrs. Walter J Kohler as its first board member.
