Dale Chihuly
04/10/2011 - 08/07/2011 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
In the course of his long career, Dale Chihuly (b. 1941) has revolutionized the art of blown glass, moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture and establishing the use of glass—inherently a fragile but also magical material—as a vehicle for installation and environmental art. This major retrospective exhibition of Chihuly Studio glass will be held in the MFA’s Ann and Graham Gund Gallery, and accompanied by installations in the soaring glass-enclosed Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Family Courtyard, which will bring an exciting perspective to the architecture of the Museum’s new expansion.
