All Events

In 2002, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art inaugurated the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center with an exhibition of glass and drawings by Dale Chihuly, titled Dale Chihuly: An Inaugural Exhibition (March 16–August 4, 2002). Bolstered by enormous public support, the Museum purchased the exhibition in June of 2004, which included works from Chihuly’s best-known series, in addition to drawings, and was anchored by the 55-foot Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower in the Museum’s atrium. Since then, the collection has grown to include gifts to the Museum by the artist. Today, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art is home to one of the largest collections of Chihuly glass in the world.

Dale Chihuly’s well-grounded academic & practical background includes a B.A. in interior design from the University of Washington, an M.S. in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an M.F.A. in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, & honorary doctorates from the University of Puget Sound & the Rhode Island School of Design. He also was awarded a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation grant for work in glass and studied at Italy’s prestigious Venini glass factory on a Fulbright Fellowship.

Chihuly’s work is included in over 200 museum collections, including the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, and he has received world renown for his extensive glass series, international projects, and large architectural installations such as the Museum’s Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower. The Museum’s collection represents over three decades of Chihuly’s finest work and heralds this brilliant luminist as the most important artist working in glass since Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Artist Auguste Rodin's "The Gates of Hell" illustrates many tormenting emotions.  "The Fallen Caryatid with Urn" sculpture depicts a woman folding into herself while bearing the weight of a vessel on her shoulder. She does not seem to be burdened by the vessel but rather resigned to its placement; her resting eyes suggesting melancholy or sadness rather than anguish. The term "caryatid" refers to sculptures of female figures that function as supportive columns, often found in ancient Greek architecture. The work was originally titled "Sorrow" and was intended for "The Gates of Hell."  Visit "True Nature: Rodin and the Age of Impressionism" before it closes on October 22! Go to okcmoa.com/buytickets
