Chihuly: 365 Days

Description

Dale Chihuly is renowned as the most prolific living artist working in glass, with hugely popular exhibitions in major museums around the world. Chihuly: 365 Days is a richly illustrated photo survey of his entire four-decade career, with more than 500 pictures showing all facets of his work-from intimate smaller pieces to the tremendous outdoor installations that have thrilled millions of visitors. There are also personal photos of the artist; of "Team chihuly" at the Boathouse, his studio in Seattle, Washington; and of his marvelous drawings-all selected by the artist himself. Most of the photographs have never before been published. Quotations from and about Chihuly, as well as descriptions of his various types of works and short texts on his most prominent series pieces, accompany the images. The captions also act as a chronology of his life and work.

Dale Chihuly has won numerous awards, and is one of only a handful of Americans to have been honored with a solo exhibition at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Chihuly is co-founder of the Pilchuck Glass School outside Seattle, which draws students and teachers from around the globe.
