    Summary: 
    "As we look back at a career of more than fifty years and counting, we realize that Chihuly's five best-known series--the BASKETS, SEAFORMS, MACCHIA, PERSIANS, and VENETIANS, which were created sequentially in rapid succession over an eleven-year period from 1977 through 1988--were the ones that really defined his aesthetic and effected the most dramatic change in the centuries-old medium of glass. By allowing gravity, centrifugal force, and fire to determine form rather than forcing the material during the blowing process to assume the symmetrical format previously characteristic of glass objects, Chihuly moved glass from being a material long associated with the decorative arts to a tool for creating sculpture and an idiom for contemporary expression. And while doing this, he continued to interject the medium into the post-World War II dialogue of Process Art."--Introduction page 5.
