本期材料发音模仿地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/11885/item/696039/Dale Chihuly says he knew he wanted to be an artist from the time he blew his first glass bubble. That was in 1965 -- in the early years of America's studio glass movement. The movement has helped turn glass from a useful industrial material into works of art.
The studio glass effort is in its 50th year now. Dale Chihuly is marking the anniversary with a show in Richmond, Virginia. Shirley Griffith tells about it.
The show is called "Chihuly at the Virginian Museum of Fine Arts." It takes up about 93 square meters of exhibition space.
Dale Chihuly's works can be extremely large. "Laguna Torcello," for example, is about 20 meters long and more than six meters wide. He made "Laguna Torcello" from 1,500 individual pieces of glass. The work was designed especially for the museum in Richmond and is being shown for the first time. "Laguna Torcello" is named after the oldest continuously populated island in Italy's Venetian Lagoon.
Dale Chihuly says the city of Venice is special to him. He worked for a time at a famous glass factory there and returned to the city many times.戴尔·奇胡利称：他在第一次吹玻璃泡时便明白了他的一生都将为成为一名艺术家而奋斗。那时是1965年，正值美国玻璃工作室运动初期，而该运动促使玻璃从实用的工业原料发展为艺术品。
玻璃工作室运动迄今已有50年，戴尔·奇胡利正在弗吉尼亚州的里士满举行一场展览以纪念此次周年庆典。雪莉·格里菲思为您报道。
此展览名为“奇胡利在弗吉尼亚美术馆”，展区面积约为93平方米。
戴尔·奇胡利能做出极其巨大的作品。例如，作品“托切罗岛的湖”，长约20米，宽超过6米，由1500块玻璃制造而成。该作品由奇胡利为位于里士满的这家美术馆特别设计，首次展出。“托切罗岛的湖”以位于意大利威尼斯潟湖中的最古老的持续有人居住的岛屿而命名。
戴尔·奇胡利称威尼斯对他来说有特别的意义，他曾在当地的一个声名远播的玻璃工厂里工作，并在之后多次回访威尼斯。
