Meander leisurely through the Conservatory Lawn where blown glass art works by world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly are now on view and let world-class musicians serenade you at this live jazz concert series.
With the glass-domed Conservatory as the backdrop, this innovative series developed in collaboration with Catskill Jazz Factory and Absolutely Live Entertainment presents three themed evenings showcasing today’s dynamic jazz talent.
Installations created specifically for NYBG complement the Garden’s landscape and architecture. The water features in the Native Plant Garden and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory Courtyard’s Tropical Pool are the settings for dramatic new artworks inspired by Chihuly’s Artpark installation in summer 1975.
Three new works [Koda studies] provide a rare opportunity to view the stunning effects of reflection and light created by these colored panels as day transitions to night.
In an homage to the 2006 exhibition at NYBG, Chihuly’s Blue Herons, originally in the Tropical Pool, are showcased in a new display entitled Persian Pond and Fiori within the Haupt Conservatory, itself considered a work of glass art.
Other sites featuring the artist’s creations throughout NYBG’s 250-acre National Historic Landmark landscape include the Lillian Goldman Fountain of Life with Blue Polyvitro Crystals, Leon Levy Visitor Center with three Chandeliers, and Arthur and Janet Ross Conifer Arboretum with Sapphire Star.
These one-of-a-kind installations highlight the synergy between Chihuly’s organic shapes and the natural environment.
