Editorial Reviews

Dale Chihuly is renowned as the most prolific living artist working in glass, with hugely popular exhibitions in major museums around the world. Chihuly: 365 Days is a richly illustrated photo survey of his entire four-decade career, with more than 500 pictures showing all facets of his work—from intimate smaller pieces to the tremendous outdoor installations that have thrilled millions of visitors. There are also personal photos of the artist; of “Team chihuly” at the Boathouse, his studio in Seattle, Washington; and of his marvelous drawings—all selected by the artist himself. Most of the photographs have never before been published.

Quotations from and about Chihuly, as well as descriptions of his various types of works and short texts on his most prominent series pieces, accompany the images. The captions also act as a chronology of his life and work.

Beautiful Presentation, 2009-11-18
by Janice T. Rhine

Aside from the beautiful photography, I appreciated the insight into the artist's creative process. The narrative on the left page explained the piece(s) on the facing page and it enables the viewer to learn more about the glass and the thought behind the piece. The colors, the setting for each piece was a work of art in inself.

by L. Dils (Michigan)

Anyone who has been to a Chihuly exhibit will love this spectacular book, bursting with color and images of various art pieces. My first experience with Chihuly work was an exhibit at Fairchild Gardens in Miami a few years back and I was blown away by the beauty of the spectacle of his pieces mixed with the nature of the gardens. If you ever have an opportunity to view a Chihuly exhibit in a botanical garden don't miss the chance; it will bring much joy. This book was a great way to bring a smile to my face reminiscing about the beauty I beheld in his work. This makes a great coffee table piece and a wonderful gift at a great price!

The pictures are stunning and although the book is small (only about half the height of your average coffee-table book), it is very thick and heavy.
My local book store sells this book for twice this price.

Other than seeing Chihuly's work in person (breathtaking!), this is the best book detailing his work, theory and progress I have purchased. The photos are clear and give a full view of the range of his talent and creativity. The explanations of how he created each type of form over the years are revealing and interesting.
This is the definitive work for those wishing to meet Chihuly and his work for the first time, and for those who wish to dig deeper into the man and the artist within.
