A Glassy Look

Art glass is hot, but not in any trendy metaphorical sense. Molten glass temperatures are measured in degrees Kelvin, the same scale scientists use to measure the heat of the sun. It's literally hot, at least at first. At "COLD + HOT," a slate of 10 international glass artists present art they've made with the hot stuff, as well as some sculpture made from room-temp, or "cold" glass. Those interested in the Dale Chihuly exhibit at the de Young – love it or hate it – might also be interested to contrast his installations with the individual pieces here.
