Synopsis

Artist Dale Chihuly has developed many techniques over the past thirty years, including the fundamentals of a team. At the helm of the studio glass movement, he was instrumental in bringing glass out of the factories and into a more experimental environment. Teamwork has become a process integral in the world of glassmaking. As the function and development of Chihuly's work evolved into larger-scale series as well as installations, it became apparent that the roles and structure of the group would now transform into a teamed effort to create a vision led by the master. On average, a unique work by artist Dale Chihuly demands the participation of up to twelve people. The relationship between these artisans is a masterpiece in itself. Team Chihuly is laid out in a chronological order to give the reader a sense of the glass movement for themselves.

About this title

About the Author:

Dale Chihuly (b. 1941), a native of Tacoma, Washington, has contributed to revolutionizing the studio glass movement by expanding its original premise of the solitary artist to encompass the notion of collaborative teams and a division of labor within the creative process. For three decades, the artist has exhibited extensively in museums, and his site-specific, public sculptures can be seen in cities the world over. Chihuly’s most recent exhibitions in gardens and conservatories have included installations at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London (2005), New York Botanical Garden (2006), Missouri Botanical Garden (2006), and Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens (2007), to name just a few.
