SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. (AP) — Dale Chihuly’s first major show in San Francisco will be held at the de Young Museum June 14–September 28. The show will include 11 galleries of new and past works from the popular artist, who is known for large colorful glass art.

Chihuly is creating the installations for the works, and several are already on view, including a 30-foot yellow neon “Saffron Tower” at the de Young’s Pool of Enchantment and a 15-foot radiant yellow “Sun” at the Legion of Honor in the exterior Court of Honor.

Other works will include chandeliers and towers in the Rodin sculpture galleries at the Legion of Honor; the 56-foot-long Mille Fiori garden of glass; and “Glass Forest 3,” recreating an early white milk glass and neon work that has not been viewed in the United States since 1972.
