Dale Chihuly is best known for his organic glass sculptures, which have been displayed around the world. Describing the whimsical nature of his work, the artist said, “I want people to be overwhelmed with light and color in some way that they’ve never experienced.” Available in the upcoming Bonhams auction is a Chihuly chandelier made of blown glass in shades of yellow and gold. This sculpture includes interior lighting, allowing multiple neon colors to light the piece. 

Exploring mediums such as graffiti, photography, and painting, contemporary artist Retna fuses visual linguistics and urban poetics in his work.

This round, stainless steel figure was created by Zheng Lu, a renowned Chinese sculptor based in Beijing. For more information on the above lots, visit Bonhams.
