Sapphire Star (c. 1990) by Dale Chihuly. Each element changes from a rich opaque blue at its base to clear at its tip, which creates a radiant effect. When viewed at night, the star seems to hover above the landscape. Photo by Greg Weber.

From the Wyeths in Oregon and Noguchi in California to Ai Weiwei in D.C. and Chihuly in N.Y.C., there’s a bumper crop of great art to see right now across the U.S.A.
