Description

Dale Chihuly, the hugely popular artist who works in glass, celebrates his 70th birthday in 2011. Tacoma Art Museum, in his place of birth, owns more than 150 examples of his work and is mounting an exhibition in his honor. Both this book and the exhibition showcase Chihuly’s enduring interest within the arts and natural wonderful thing about the Pacific Northwest, which might be a huge influence on his work. 

For the first time, Dale Chihuly: A Celebration makes a speciality of the significance of these influences. From Native American baskets to wool trade blankets, the gritty Tacoma of the 1960s, and Puget Sound, this exhibition and book follow Chihuly’s development and accomplishments and how he grew and evolved whilst maintaining close ties to Tacoma. The essay by curator Rock Hushka traces Chihuly’s creative process and the ways through which his abiding interest within the American Northwest enriches his work.

Praise for Dale Chihuly: A Celebration:
