  • Dale Chihuly Returns To RISD
    September 23, 2008

    Among the most recognized and sought-after names in contemporary glass artistry, Dale Chihuly has reached a point in his career that he accepts only about 60 new commissions a year. As everyone familiar with the artist⁳ work knows, that is no small undertaking. The chandeliers and millefiori forests, the gigantic floats and the flowers and glass ceilings that Chihuly draws and executes †in collaboration with a skilled team of hot shop artists known as ⁔eam Chihuly,††are breakthrough pieces. Chihuly has done for glass art what Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry did for museum architecture: stripped it of all preconceived notions and thrust it squarely into the realm of contemporary sculpture. His pieces have morphed over the years from weavings to table top designs to atrium-sized sculptures that spring like waterspouts from resort floors. Despite his fame †or perhaps because of it †Chihuly this year committed to a project that is taking him back to his roots, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, R.I., the place where it all began for him. As part of RISD⁳ inauguration celebration of the new multi-use Chace Center at the Museum of Art come two comprehensive exhibitions: ⁃hihuly at RISD†and ⁓tudio Glass in Rhode Island: The Chihuly Years.
