It was fitting that for 1996's "Chihuly Over Venice," the artist's most ambitious project to that date, he would return to the city that taught him the team model of glassblowing nearly 30 years earlier. "I have always believed that teamwork was the heart of glassblowing," #Chihuly said in 1995, "and I felt this project would provide an opportunity for me to prove this theory on a grand scale.

For "Chihuly Over Venice," Chihuly and his team planned, created, engineered, and coordinated for over a year. They worked with teams of glassblowers in four countries to create the thousands of elements needed for the 14 "Chandeliers" he would present during just three fleeting weeks in Venice.

In 1968, #Chihuly set sail for Venice. He was a newly minted MFA graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, invited to study at the prestigious Venini factory on the island of Murano as a Fulbright fellow. At Venini, he saw the team model of glassblowing for the first time. It was a revelation. During much of his education, glassblowing had been framed as a somewhat solitary pursuit. But what if a talented team of glassblowers, led by an artist, could work together to create art on a prev

Celebrated contemporary artist Dale #Chihuly once said, “I want people to be overcome with light and color in some way they’ve never experienced.” Thousands of bold experiments in color, light, and form later, viewers and art historians agree that he has fulfilled this vision and redefined the role of glass in fine art. Chihuly has spent nearly 60 years presenting iconic, grand-scale installations in both important institutions such as the Smithsonian and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and outd

Curators and critics have often discussed #Chihuly’s work as a conversation between contemporary art and glassblowing tradition. With its extensive art collection that spans ancient to contemporary, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF) was an ideal institution to present a wide-ranging survey of his work. FAMSF encompasses two locations: the de Young Museum and the Legion of Honor. FAMSF Director John Buchanan approached Chihuly in 2006 about developing an exhibition exploring his rela

In 2019, #Chihuly began experimenting with a complex and labor-intensive caneworking technique from 15th-century Murano called merletto. Named for the Italian word for lace, merletto suspends spiraling, mesh-like designs within the glass. "Chihuly Merletto" abandons the formality and symmetry of the classic Venetian technique. Instead, they have the expressive energy and fine, tangled lines seen in his early "Basket Drawings," which he created with bundles of pencils to capture three-dimensional
