Description :

A vibrant and expressive vitreograph by Dale Chihuly, titled Ikebana and dated 1994. The composition evokes a dynamic floral arrangement bursting from a vessel form—an abstract interpretation inspired by the Japanese art of flower arrangement, a recurring theme in Chihuly’s work.

Executed with layered colored inks, the image features energetic gestural linework in red, teal, black, and muted earth tones, creating depth, motion, and visual intensity. The print is hand-signed, titled, dated, and numbered in pencil, and bears a personal inscription reading “Thanks Bob!”, adding a unique, personalized element to the piece.

Produced in a limited edition of 50, this work exemplifies Chihuly’s experimental approach to printmaking, translating the spontaneity and movement of his glass forms into two-dimensional media.
