The Chihuly tower

I’ve seen this piece for 40 years when I would have mammograms. Jerry’s oncologist is in the same building. We learned yesterday that all the doctors and departments in this building are moving to a new building in November. I asked if the Chihuly is moving and they said no. I’ve seen it so many times over the years it is like an old friend. Jerry had his second immunotherapy treatment yesterday. It made me sad to realize that was probably the last time we will see the orange tower.

Such an eye catcher! I hope all went well with Jerry's latest treatment and I hope he will not have too many side effects this time - love to both :)

Such a striking piece....I hope Jerry is doing well after the treatment.

It is a beautiful piece and I feel as if you have posted photos of it before. I understand how it can become a part of your life and will seem strange to be in a new place.

I hope everything went well with Jerry’s treatment. Will the new place be closer for you or further away?

[Dawn]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Love it.

[Danette Thompson]

Incredible that it has been there 40 years.

[Pat Knowles]

It’s very memorable Lou Ann….I’m not surprised it’s quite a thing when you have to visit the hospital. I’m sure it will be much missed…I wonder what’s going to happen to it? Might be an even smarter one in the new place!

Fabulous

[Babs]

It looks beautiful. Hope Jerry is doing well with his treatment.

@grammyn the new hospital/clinic is about a block away. 😁 Jerry is doing good today!

[Lou Ann]

@happypat I’m pretty sure the new art piece will be one of those modern pieces. I will take a photo of it when we go to the new clinic. 😁

[Valerie Chesney]

So very eye catching.... Thinking of you both ...

@louannwarren How wonderful to have it so close and I am happy to hear Jerry is doing well

[Diane]

Spectacular piece! Hope Jerry is doing well after his treatment.

[CC Folk]

A beautiful Chihuly piece. I love his glass art. I hope all goes well with Jerry's treatment.

[Peter]

Lovely capture Lou Ann hope all went well with the treatment, how about putting a bid in for the sculpture you never know they may be looking for a new home for it:)

I've been to the museum in Seattle... it's amazing!!

[carol white]

An amazing structure

[Islandgirl]

Funky tower!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

There is no missing his work! I find it very strange that they are leaving this behind- his pieces are world-renown and I'm sure it's worth a pretty penny! But maybe that's a selling point for them- buy this million dollar building complete with Chihuly artwork! Glad to hear Jerry is doing well.

[Louise & Ken]

That is so beautiful and tactile! I love his amazing art, and am surprised how often people see and share it!

@Weezilou @olivetreeann @radiogirl @carolmw @kwind @pcoulson @gardenfolk @eudora @grammyn @happysnaps @onewing @joansmor @danette @mittens @Dawn @ludwigsdiana @annied @beryl thank you all. I searched for the opening year for this building but cannot find it. I will try to find out what they are going to do with the building. It is part of a huge medical complex and university so I wouldn’t be surprised if they renovate it into classrooms. Jerry is doing well, all of the problems happened two weeks after his first treatment so we expect that’s when we will have to be on our toes! I appreciate all of your comments, thank you so much.

Very nice that you will have a picture to remember it

[Dianne]

@bkbinthecity yes I agree. Sometimes we see these things and don’t take a photo, only to find they have disappeared or we don’t have access to them.
