Chihuly at RISD Catalog
Take a piece of the historic Chihuly exhibition home with you. In honor of RISD's new Chace Center (designed by architect José Rafael Moneo), renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly created a unique, site-specific exhibition. Chihuly, a former RISD professor and founder of its glass department, has long been associated with RISD. Chihuly asked renowned designer Malcolm Grear to create this exhibition's catalogue, Chihuly at RISD. Malcolm Grear, a long-time friend of Chihuly, designed his logotype and first catalogue in the 1980s. This commemorative book honors the artist's relationship to RISD as well as his special exhibition in the new Chace Center.

Dale Chihuly (www.dalechihuly.com) is in the select group of artists who are celebrated by critics and the general public alike.

In 1968 a Fulbright Fellowship allowed him to further his study at the Venini glass factory in Italy — an experience that influenced his team approach to blowing glass. Honorary doctorates, fellowships from the NEA and a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation are among Chihuly’s other awards, and his work is in more than 200 museums around the world. He is based in western Washington, where he co-founded Pilchuck Glass School in 1971.
