Dale Chhuly Biography

The artist that I decided to research was Lee S. Ivey. She was great at making sculptures. She did oil painting and drawings as well. Her paintings were amazing. However, I’m more fascinated with her sculptures because they’re so different and they tell a story. She even have a piece called “Deaf President Now”, which is currently on display at Gallaudet University. Pieces like this really shows how she was part of the Deaf community, and how she saw the talent and aspirations of the community. I like the mysteriousness of her art and how it causes you to wonder what emotions she was feeling when she created the piece, and what the message was that she was trying to convey. All of her pieces seem to have some kind of message. For example,

From my observation at the Met, this sculpture is inside a medium glass and space. Also, it is by itself in the glass. It is a three-dimensional sculpture created by modeling and merging hard materials. Next to it there are other deities (Vishnu, Parvati, Ganesh etc.) and sculptors from the Chola Dynasty. The other works near it complements the sculpture as I have stated above they are from the same time period so, they are related to each other some way and

When you’re young, there’s little that surpasses the love of a boy and his bike. From the first time experiencing the freedom of pedal-powered independence to exploring the mysteries of your neighborhood, there’s nothing else like it. It’s pure, unadulterated freedom of exploration — a feeling that Jimmy Hallyburton has managed to carry with him since the first time his sneaker hit pedal.

Dale Chihuly is an American glass blower (Dale Patrick Chihuly, 2015). The piece of art I’ll mainly be looking at is Citron and Cobalt Tower. This piece was located directly in the center of the museum as soon as you walked in to the show room. It caught my eye and I knew immediately what I wanted to do my paper on.

and eventually got a new judge reassigned to the case. In the end, both the mother and son

Fischer teamed up with a local Kansas City-based firm A. Zahner Company together they created and brought to life Fischer’s inspiration. The largest of the sculptures is 40 feet tall and 35 feet wide and weighing in at 24,000 pounds. In order to get the sculptures on top of the four 300 foot pylons, a special helicopter was needed. A Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane which is designed to lift heavy objects was used to lower the sculptures down.

Richard Joseph Daley, the grandson of Irish immigrants, was born in the Bridgeport area of Chicago on May 15, 1902. He was graduated from De La Salle Institute in 1918 and worked in the stockyards for several years before studying law. While studying, he worked as a clerk in the Cook County Controller's office. In 1936 Daley married Eleanor Guilfoyle, and the couple had three daughters and four sons. One son, Richard M. Daley, served in the Illinois Senate and as Cook County state's attorney before being elected mayor of Chicago in 1989.

When I attend the Oklahoma Art Museum this morning, I was completely blown away by the different styles, technique, and artistic abilities that artist have. Art can come in many forms and can involve many different things. From paintings, sculptures, and abstract pieces of the modern world. Along with my visit, I got to experience a new collection of blown glass that was absolute remarkable. As I walked though the museum, it was as I walked though time and got to see how each period’s art changed throughout time. From the different shades of color to the different types of technique that filled the halls of the Oklahoma City Art Museum, each piece was genuine in its own way. I was starstruck as I witnessed Lowell Nesbitt’s Parrot Tulip, Richard Diebenkorn’s Albuquerque, and Dale Chihuly’s blown glass.

     As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the

Created to help grow recognition of the Museum, the project of Modern Sculpture Initiative collected identifiable sculptures in the Kansas City Sculpture Park at the Nelson-Atkins Museum (Paine 15). This park holds pieces from Henry Moore and the duo Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen. As a gift to retired Martin Friedman, who was the advisor of the Modern Sculpture Initiative and director of the Walker, he got to commission a work by the artist of his choosing (Roxy Paine’s), 2010). With help from the Hall Family Foundation, a dendroid installation called Ferment by Roxy Paine was the newest addition in 2011 (Paine 17). Since Paine has 24 dendroid sculptures spread across North America, it is an honor to have one that gave excitement and quality to the park (Roxy Paine’s, 2010). Curator Jan Schall expressed, “Roxy Paine is one of the most important young sculptors today. Ferment will be the reigning monarch on that hillside. It is an outstanding addition to the collection that will enlighten, perplex and delight everyone who sees it. (“Roxy Paine’s”, 2010)” When a person goes to the Nelson-Atkins Museum, they may see a tall, shiny tree in the park. However, this installation

The Whitney Museum of American Art has often been referred to a citadel of American Art, partially due to the museums façade, a striking granite building (Figure 1), designed by Bauhaus trained architect Marcel Breuer. The museum perpetuates this reference through its biennial review of contemporary American Art, which the Whitney has become most famous for. The biennial has become since its inception a measure of the state of contemporary art in America today.

With exhibitions of the most thought-provoking art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago is one of the Nation’s largest facilities devoted to the art of our time (“About the MCA”) . The mission of the MCA is to offer a direct experience to the public of modern day art and living artists. German architect Joseph Paul Kleihues designed the new building with seven times the square feet of its previous facility (“The Building”) . October of 1967 the museum opened its doors to the public for the first time. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a symbol of modern art, culture, and the artist of our time. It is a stepping stone in history and will leave footprints in the heart of Chicago for many generations to come.

The Guggenheim Museum is a form of abstract art which has no separate floor levels but uses a spiral ramp. This was his ideal of continuous space and most significant building. His principles

Artist- intentions (slide 1): Anthony’s artwork (habitat) deals with the idea of building your self through experiences and overall shaping who you are. This is shown through the blocks that he has used to create the sculpture. These blocks are almost like individual experiences and memories that make up a person.
