Artwork Spotlight
Buttercup Yellow Persian
with Red Lip Wrap
by Dale Chihuly
On display in the Contemporary Gallery
The American Banking Company of Moultrie purchased Buttercup Yellow Persian with Red Lip Wrap by
Dale Chihuly for the Colquitt County Arts Center’s Contemporary Collection in memory of Susan Sheldon.
Known as the man who pioneered the modern studio glass frontier in America and the first to establish the
fragile material as an environmental art, Dale Chihuly’s name has become synonymous with glass. His art is
not out of place in venues like the White House, the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Olympic Arena,
and he is one of four Americans ever to have a show at the Louvre in Paris. Chihuly’s sculptures have
explored color, line and composition. His works range from small single piece vessels to his better known
multipart assemblages that are often commissioned for specific venue installations. A dominant figure in the
art world, Chihuly’s influence is everlasting and hardly as fragile as the glass he works with. Dale Chihuly is
now widely recognized as the world’s premier glass artist and has been the subject of many books, critical
essays and TV specials. As a man with extreme determination and imaginative abilities,
Chihuly creates larger than life sculptures that demonstrate his unparalleled originality as a true master of
his craft.
The Colquitt County Arts Center’s Patron Event
Friday, April 7th, an event was held to celebrate our Patrons.
An annual award was also unveiled to honor the memory of
Mrs. Evelyn King Vereen
a beloved Patron and Community Volunteer.
