Scott Dressel-MartinDale Chihuly's "Colorado" glass sculpture is now on view permanently at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Four people have been charged in connection with last summer's theft of Dale Chihuly artwork from the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.
Brook and Parnell allegedly later took several glass cattails and left them in a corn field near Strasburg, Colorado, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office. The glass orb was recovered; the cattails were found, but destroyed.
Brook and Parnell are charged with criminal mischief and tampering with evidence, in addition to the theft charges.
The Denver Post reports that officials have not cited a value for the stolen artwork, though art by the famed Seattle-based glass artist has been valued at more than $300,000.
The four will appear in court separately, with Brook scheduled to appear next on Jan. 26.
