These three volumes, housed in a stunning slipcase, bring together many of Chihuly’s most impressive Works on Paper. It is organized by medium—graphite, charcoal, and acrylic—and is the single most comprehensive book covering what the artist considers to be the most direct representation of the energy behind his artistic process.

Chihuly describes this energy as “spontaneous, fast, immediate,” and the gorgeous reproductions here convey this immediacy as never before. An essay by Nathan Kernan explores these compelling works of art.
