点评:We came to TAM solely to see their Chihuly collection since Dale Chihuly grew up in Tacoma. Striking display of macchia and ikebana pieces lit up against the black background. Wish that the pieces in the display cases had open fronts to see and photograph those pieces better. In addition, set within an enclosed courtyard is an installation featuring more than 3 dozen colorful Niijima Float balls. Next we checked out the museum's display from their permanent collection. While I saw some works that I enjoyed and many that didn't move me, I wonder what else is in the collection that wasn't on display that day. We strolled through additional galleries to see contemporary art. Those dealing with glass were among the most interesting. Overall TAM has the Chihuly in its favor, but wish there a more permanent gallery for the permanent collection items as it felt pretty tentative and not as strong as I hoped it would be. 4 out of 5 solely on the Chihuly!
翻译:我们专程前往塔科马艺术博物馆,就是为了参观那里的奇胡利作品收藏——毕竟戴尔·奇胡利就是在塔科马长大的。在黑色背景的映衬下,那些马奇亚艺术品与生花道作品显得格外引人注目。只可惜展示柜的前面没有开口,否则就能更清楚地观赏并拍摄这些作品了。此外,博物馆的封闭庭院里还布置了一个装置艺术,上面有三十多个色彩缤纷的新岛浮球。随后,我们又参观了博物馆永久收藏品的展览。虽然我看到了一些自己喜欢的作品,也有很多没能打动我的作品,但我很好奇当天未展出的藏品中还有些什么。我们又漫步于其他展厅去欣赏当代艺术,其中以玻璃艺术相关的展览最为有趣。总体而言,塔科马艺术博物馆能拥有奇胡利的作品实属幸运;不过我希望能有一个更固定的展厅来陈列那些永久收藏品,因为目前的陈列方式显得有些随意,也没达到我期望的效果。仅因奇胡利的作品这一点,我就给博物馆打4分(满分5分)!
