THE ART OF DALE CHIHULY

DALE CHIHULY (1941-)

The Art of Dale Chihuly -- Dale Chihuly is the most famous and influential artist working in glass today. For more than four decades, he has been the leading figure in this unique art form, fusing traditional craft with fine art, fabrication with the natural environment. Now, in his first major San Francisco exhibition, Chihuly displays a vast array of artworks from many of his signature series (including the Baskets, Seaforms, Persians, Venetians, and more) at both the de Young and Legion of Honor museums. A career-spanning biographical essay by curator Timothy Anglin Burgard and stunning color photography of the works will captivate Chihuly\'s myriad fans—both new and old.

Dale Chihuly lives in Seattle with his wife and son.

Timothy Anglin Burgard is the Ednah Root Curator in Charge of American Art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
