No it's not.
There are several 'modernistic' paintings in the apartment.
The artist for one of them has been confirmed as Osterson (sp?).
I don't know offhand if the large Rauschenberg print (semi-seen in the
hallway leading to Frasier's bedroom wing) is genuine or a reproduction.

I think that this was Emily's effort.
Having fun watching S3 DVDs!

Yes, please do. The painting is not a Chihuly. The Chihuly is that weird
looking bowl of sorts, w/ its sides folded in on itself, sculpted from blown
glass. It sits on a stand to the right of the fireplace as the audience
looks at it. Daphne hid a piece of candy in it once when she was eating her
way to the fat farm. Frasier saw it in there and got quietly miffed w/ his
father for what he assumed was a wrapper tossed there.
Chihuly does do some painting and sketches but is best known for his glass
sculptures, which, btw, I had the delight of seeing when there was a
fabulous exhibit in Chicago 2 years ago at the Garfield Park Conservatory.
Amazing stuff...no other word for it.
I forget now the ep. in which Frasier told someone the sculpture was a
Chihuly...or maybe he said something about it. Was it the Fat Farm ep. by
any chance? Whatever, I can't remember now...but I do know he identified it
at least once as a Chihuly.
One thing that drew me to Frasier from the first is the beauty of that set
that's the apartment and the attention to detail that does so much to bring
Frasier's personality to life. I remember a season or 2 ago, David Lee
posted about an ep. he directed that year (the one we were discussing) and
he told us the book Frasier was reading. I don't remember now what it was
exactly, but it was some kind of art book...possibly architecture. I just
remember how impressed I was someone on the set (possibly the director
himself) went to the trouble of using a real book that I could easily
imagine Frasier reading. It fit his personality precisely.

He has a couple of extraordinary pieces around here - one of blazingly
colorful flowers suspended in front of a three story window at the
DMFA and another huge scupture, maybe 30 feet tall, with orange
flame-like tongues extending from all sides at the entrance of the UT
Southwestern Medical Center. It is a bit foreboding to the
faint-of-heart patient walking in the door!

"My Chihuly is NOT a trash can!" ;-)
Yes, from "Hungry Heart"

Oh yes, I remember that was a couple of years ago, I don't recall the
episode but I *do* remember David telling us Frasier was reading a
biography of Peggy Guggenheim. Of course he had all those coffee table
art books in the living room, but I recall noticing bios of Tolstoy
and T E Lawrence in his bedroom. The covers were familiar because the
same books were in my home growing up.

Gosh, you are lucky. New York has a lot of things, but because of
that, it's always interesting to note what we *don't* have. We don't
have *everything*, as rumor would have it. ;) You can satisfy a
craving for Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies at almost any time, day
or night, and it's pretty easy to see Caravaggio, Velazquez, Titian,
Monet, Van Gogh, etc. etc. Chihuly-- not so much. ;)

The Peggy book was placed in plain sight. It would have been a book
to handle with oven mitts, too. Peggy was a busy lady. ;)

Was it Anton Gill's "art _lover_"?
A friend just gave me this for my birthday, also a new book of Beaton
portraits with Audrey Hepburn on the cover.
