I saw a Chihuly exhibit about twenty years ago and have been a fan ever since. The pieces were impressive enough, but the way they were exhibited was amazing. Not only is he a master glassmaker, but a master of how to use light and other presentation techniques to enhance the overall effect of the glass on the viewer. For example, one room at the show I saw had several roughly three foot diameter globes (what Chihuly calls "floats") resting in beds of of broken clear glass. But what really made the presentation was that the room had been painted entirely black and the only illumination was a spotlight on each of the globes.
