About Dale Chihuly

Dale Chihuly is one of the most renowned contemporary glass artists globally, celebrated for his monumental sculptures and installations. He is the visionary behind the breathtaking ceiling at the Bellagio's Conservatory in Las Vegas and the creator of the Rotunda Chandelier at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Today, Chihuly's glass creations are highly sought-after collectibles among decorative arts enthusiasts.

Despite initially being indifferent to formal education, Chihuly eventually earned both scientific and artistic degrees in sculpture from prestigious institutions. His early interests in interior design and craft evolved into a deep passion for glass. In the late 1960s, he was a Fulbright Fellow and apprenticed at the Venini Glass Factory in Venice, where he mastered the ancient art of Murano glassmaking. Chihuly's innovative approach to glassblowing helped revive this traditional craft, bringing it back into the international spotlight.

Chihuly's work, both large and small, is featured in over 200 of the world's most prestigious decorative art collections, and he has been awarded twelve honorary doctorates. His most famous series include Cylinders and Baskets from the 1970s; Macchia, Venetians, and Persians from the 1980s; Niijima Floats and Chandeliers from the 1990s; and the Fiori series from the 2000s.

For over three decades, Chihuly has led his team of artisans as their artistic director, a role that became necessary after two accidents left him blind in one eye and unable to hold the glassblowing tube. This shift in his career allowed Chihuly to expand the scope of his work, while still preserving his distinctive style.
