Exhibition History"Unveiling American Genius," KIA Permanent Collection Exhibition, Traditional, Markin, Nay and Groos Galleries (March 1, 2021 - December 31, 2023).Label TextOne of the world's premier glass artists, Dale Chihuly, has been called the Louis Comfort TIffany of the 20th century for his innovative designs and new conepts of decorative glass. After studying sculpture and glass blowing at the University of Wisconsin, Chihuly experimented with team glassblowing, which enabled him to produce large-scale works. A car accident in 1976 took the sight from his left eye and Chihuly has ever since been recognized by the patch he wears over that eye. Although he hasn't blown glass since 1979, Chilhuly creates the concept behind an artwork, which he relays by sketches, paintings and words to the master glassblowers who then produce his vision.
