From Louis Comfort Tiffany’s jewel-toned stained glass windows that turned churches into cathedrals of color, to Dale Chihuly’s explosive blown glass sculptures that bring the ocean’s mysteries to museum galleries, to Dan Dailey’s whimsical figurative pieces that blend fine art with storytelling magic.
