Our Associate Editor Richard III writes…
Dale Chihuly gets squillions when he sells
his extraordinary glass sculptures. There has been one in Berkeley Square since
April 2014 and we always look at it on the Mayfair walk.
I always wondered why nobody stole it as it
is worth a packet, sitting in a public square.
Last week we came upon them taking it down
and I think this is the answer. It
would be so difficult to dismantle…
How the magic had gone as they pulled out
the individual pieces of glass and we saw the funny, almost industrial inner
core that holds the delicate glass fronds. I suppose that is one definition of an artist. Bits of glass
which are unremarkable on their own, brought together to create something
extraordinary.
