Dale Chihuly ({{IPAc-en|tʃ|ᵻ|ˈ|h|uː|l|i}} {{respell|chih|HOO|lee}}; born September 20, 1941) is an American glass artist and entrepreneur. He is well known in the field of blown glass, "moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture".{{cite web|title=Chihuly: Through the looking glass|work=Museum of Fine Arts Boston|url=http://www.mfa.org/exhibitions/chihuly|access-date=23 October 2017|archive-date=24 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111224214459/http://www.mfa.org/exhibitions/chihuly}}

Early life

Dale Patrick Chihuly was born on September 20, 1941, in Tacoma, Washington.{{Cite web |date=2025-02-26 |title=An arts-filled road trip to Tacoma {{!}} Provided by Western Washington Toyota Dealers |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sponsored/an-arts-filled-road-trip-to-tacoma/ |access-date=2025-06-04 |website=The Seattle Times |language=en-US}}{{Cite news |title=Tacoma museum shines a spotlight on the artistry of glass - Edmonds Beacon |url=https://www.edmondsbeacon.com/stories/tacoma-museum-shines-a-spotlight-on-the-artistry-of-glass,94678 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250423015932/https://www.edmondsbeacon.com/stories/tacoma-museum-shines-a-spotlight-on-the-artistry-of-glass,94678 |archive-date=2025-04-23 |access-date=2025-06-04 |work=Edmonds Beacon |language=en}} His parents were George and Viola Chihuly; his paternal grandfather was born in Slovakia.{{Cite web |date=1 May 2013 |title=Dale Chihuly – Legendary Master of Glass |url=http://northwestprimetime.com/news/2013/may/01/dale-chihuly-legendary-master-glass/ |access-date=28 March 2018 |website=Northwest Prime Time}} In 1957, his older brother and only sibling George died in a Navy aviation training accident in Pensacola, Florida.{{Cite book |last=Kuspit |first=Donald B. |title=Chihuly |date=1998 |publisher=Harry N.

Chihuly had no interest in continuing his formal education after graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1959. However, at his mother's urging, he enrolled at the College of Puget Sound. A year later, he transferred to the University of Washington in Seattle to study interior design. In 1961, he joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (Kappa Epsilon chapter), and the same year he learned how to melt and fuse glass. In 1962, Chihuly dropped out of the university to study art in Florence. He later traveled to the Middle East where he met architect Robert Landsman. Their meeting and his time abroad spurred Chihuly to return to his studies. In 1963, he took a weaving class where he incorporated glass shards into tapestries. He received an award for his work from the Seattle Weavers Guild in 1964. Chihuly graduated from the University of Washington in 1965 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in interior design.

Chihuly began experimenting with glassblowing in 1965, and in 1966 he received a full scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He studied under Harvey Littleton, who had established the first glass program in the United States at the university. In 1967, Chihuly received a Master of Science degree in sculpture. After graduating, he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he met and became close friends with Italo Scanga. Chihuly earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from the RISD in 1968. That same year, he was awarded a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation grant for his work in glass, as well as a Fulbright Fellowship. He traveled to Venice to work at the Venini factory on the island of Murano, where he first saw the team approach to blowing glass.{{Cite web |title=Learn More |url=http://www.chihuly.com/learn |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019200939/http://www.chihuly.com/learn |archive-date=19 October 2014 |access-date=23 October 2014 |website=Chihuly |publisher=Chihuly Studio}} From his personal website. After returning to the United States, Chihuly spent the first of four consecutive summers teaching at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine. In 1969, he traveled to Europe, in part to meet Erwin Eisch in Germany and Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová in Czechoslovakia.

Chihuly donated a portion of a large exhibit to his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, in 1997 and it is on permanent display in the Kohl Center. In 2013 the university awarded him an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts.

Career

File:Chihuly at Kew Gardens 043.jpg

In 1971, with the support of John Hauberg and Anne Gould Hauberg, Chihuly co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School near Stanwood, Washington. Chihuly also founded the HillTop Artists program in Tacoma, Washington at Hilltop Heritage Middle School and Wilson High School.

In 1976, while Chihuly was in England, he was involved in a head-on car accident that propelled him through the windshield.{{Cite web |last=Graves |first=Jen |date=February 2006 |title=Glass Houses: Dale Chihuly Files a Lawsuit That Raises Big Questions...

After recovering, he continued to blow glass until he dislocated his right shoulder in 1979 while bodysurfing.{{cite web |last1=ANGLIN BURGARD |first1=TIMOTHY |title=Chihuly the Artist: Breathing Life into Glass |url=https://www.chihuly.com/life/writings/chihuly-artist-breathing-life-glass |website=chihuly.com |publisher=Chihuly, Inc. |access-date=11 February 2008}}

In 1983, Chihuly returned to his native Pacific Northwest where he continued to develop his own work at the Pilchuck Glass School, which he had helped to found in 1971. No longer able to hold the glassblowing pipe, he hired others to do the work. Chihuly explained the change in a 2006 interview, saying "Once I stepped back, I liked the view", and said that it allowed him to see the work from more perspectives, enabling him to anticipate problems earlier. Chihuly's role has been described as "more choreographer than dancer, more supervisor than participant, more director than actor". San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Erin Glass wrote that she "wonders at the vision of not just the artist Chihuly, but the very successful entrepreneur Chihuly, whose estimated sales by 2004 was reported by The Seattle Times as $29 million."{{Cite web |last=Glass |first=Erin |date=22 April 2010 |title='Chihuly' a site-specific explosion of art at Salk |url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/22/chihuly-a-site-specific-explosion-of-art-at-salk |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160730204709/http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2010/apr/22/chihuly-a-site-specific-explosion-of-art-at-salk/ |archive-date=30 July 2016 |website=San Diego Union-Tribune}}

Chihuly and his team of artists were the subjects of the documentary {{vanchor|Chihuly Over Venice}}. They were also featured in the documentary Chihuly in the Hotshop, syndicated to public television stations by American Public Television starting on November 1, 2008.{{Cite web |title=Chihuly Over Venice |url=https://www.chihuly.com/exhibitions/chihuly-over-venice |access-date=25 October 2017 |website=Chihuly.com}}

In 2010, the Space Needle Corporation submitted a proposal for an exhibition of Chihuly's work at a site in the Seattle Center, in competition with proposals for other uses from several other groups.{{Citation |last=Heffter |first=Emily |title=Chihuly glass museum proposed at Seattle Center where Fun Forest stood |date=10 June 2010 |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011299316_glasshouse09m.html |work=Seattle Times |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100312065200/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011299316_glasshouse09m.html |archive-date=12 March 2010 |url-status=dead}}{{Citation |last=Heffter |first=Emily |title=In a second attempt to sell the city and the public on a Dale Chihuly glass exhibit at Seattle Center |date=10 June 2010 |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012083798_chihuly11m.html |work=Seattle Times |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613232033/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012083798_chihuly11m.html |archive-date=2010-06-13 |url-status=dead}} The project, which sees the new Chihuly exhibition hall occupy the site of the former Fun Forest amusement park in the Seattle Center park and entertainment complex, received the final approval from the Seattle City Council on April 25, 2011.{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Ben |date=28 April 2011 |title=Divisive Dale Chihuly Glass-Art 'Museum' Approved for Former Seattle Amusement Park |url=http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/37553/divisive-dale-chihuly-glass-art-museum-approved-for-former-seattle-amusement-park |access-date=30 November 2012 |publisher=ArtInfo}} Called Chihuly Garden and Glass, it opened May 21, 2012.{{Cite web |date=21 May 2012 |title=Chihuly Garden and Glass Opens with Dedication Ceremony on Monday, May 21 |url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chihuly-garden-and-glass-opens-with-dedication-ceremony-on-monday-may-21-152260115.html |access-date=30 November 2012 |publisher=PRNewswire}}{{Cite news |last=Riefe |first=Jordan |date=21 May 2012 |title=Dale Chihuly's 'Glass House' Shines in Seattle |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-dalechihuly-pix-idUSLNE84K00C20120521 |access-date=30 November 2012}}

In 2006, Chihuly filed a lawsuit against his former longtime employee, glassblower Bryan Rubino, and businessman Robert Kaindl, claiming copyright and trademark infringement. Kaindl's pieces used titles Chihuly had employed for his own works, such as Seaforms and Ikebana, and resembled the construction of Chihuly's pieces. Legal experts stated that influence on art style did not constitute copyright infringement.{{Cite news |date=2006-06-11 |title=Glass warfare |work=St. Petersburg Times |url=http://www.sptimes.com/2006/06/11/Floridian/Glass_warfare.shtml |access-date=20 December 2012}}{{Cite news |last=O'Hagan |first=Maureen |date=2005-12-20 |title=Glass artist Chihuly's lawsuit tests limits of copyrighting art |work=The Seattle Times |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/glass-artist-chihulys-lawsuit-tests-limits-of-copyrighting-art/ |access-date=20 December 2012}} Chihuly settled the lawsuit with Rubino initially,{{Cite news |last1=Farr |first1=Sheila |last2=Kelleher |first2=Susan |date=2006-08-15 |title=Artists Chihuly, Rubino settle claims; suit against entrepreneur unresolved |work=The Seattle Times |url=http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2003199340_chihuly15m.html |url-status=dead |access-date=2010-02-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020215352/http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2003199340_chihuly15m.html |archive-date=2012-10-20}} and later with Kaindl as well.{{Cite book |last=Kelleher |first=Susan |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003484492_chihuly19m.html |title=Chihuly, rival glass artist settle dispute |date=2006-12-19 |work=The Seattle Times |access-date=20 December 2012}}

Works

Regina Hackett, a Seattle Post-Intelligencer art critic, provided a chronology of Chihuly's work during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Chihuly's oeuvre can be categorized into a number of ongoing series which include: Navajo Blanket series, the Basket series, the Seaform series, the Macchia series, the Persian series, the Venetian series, the Ikebana series, and the Floats series.File:Chandelier in the rotunda of the V and A museum - geograph.org.uk - 1569071.jpg]]

1975: Navajo Blanket Series, in which patterns of Navajo blankets were painted onto glass
1977: Northwest Coast Basket Series, baskets inspired by Northwest coast Indian baskets he had seen as a child
1980: Seaform Series, transparent sculptures of thin glass, strengthened by ribbed strands of color
1981: Macchia Series, featuring every color available in the studio
1986: Persian Series, inspired by Middle East glass from the 12th- to 14th-century, featuring more restrained color and room-sized installations
1988: Venetian Series, improvisations based on Italian Art Deco
1989: Ikebana Series, glass flower arrangements inspired by ikebana
1990: Venetian Series returns, this time in a more eccentric form
1991: Niijima Floats, six-foot spheres of intricate color inspired by Japanese glass fishing floats from the island of Niijima{{Cite web |date=18 November 2010 |title=Chihuly - Niijima |url=http://www.chihuly.com/installations/niijima |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101118042814/http://www.chihuly.com/installations/niijima |archive-date=18 November 2010}} from Chihuly's website
1992: Chandeliers, starting modestly but by the middle of the decade involving a multitude of glass orbs and shapes that in some works look like flowers, others like breasts, and still others like snakes. Chihuly has also produced a sizable volume of "Irish cylinders",{{Cite web |title=Cylinder |url=http://www.lakeview-museum.org/photos/Cylinder.jpg |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080627044517/http://www.lakeview-museum.org/photos/Cylinder.jpg |archive-date=June 27, 2008}} which are more modest in conception than his blown glass works.

For his exhibition in Jerusalem, in 1999–2000, in addition to the glass pieces, he had enormous blocks of transparent ice brought in from an Alaskan artesian well and formed a wall, echoing the stones of the nearby Citadel. Lights with color gels were set up behind them for illumination. Chihuly said the melting wall represented the "dissolution of barriers" between people.{{Cite web |last=Cohen, Jay |date=4 October 1999 |title=Cooling a hotbed of unrest in Mideast? |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/721087/Cooling-a-hotbed-of-unrest-in-Mideast.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318094837/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/721087/Cooling-a-hotbed-of-unrest-in-Mideast.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 18, 2012 |access-date=1 March 2010 |website=Deseret News}} This exhibit holds the world record for most visitors to a temporary exhibit with more than 1.3 million visitors.{{Cite web |title=Jerusalem 2000 |url=https://www.tod.org.il/en/exhibition/jerusalem-2000 |website=www.tod.org.il |access-date=2018-05-10 |archive-date=2018-05-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180510190328/https://www.tod.org.il/en/exhibition/jerusalem-2000/ |url-status=dead }}

In 1999, Chihuly's "Millenium Tree" was present in the East Wing of the Clinton White House during a Millenium celebration. The tree now resides in the William J.
