Chihully Art Glass
Alexander Luft, M.D.
In Napier, New Zealand recently a show on art glass by Chihully
was done. I have taken a particular fancy to his work. Does
anybody know if he has works for sale and how much they might cost as
well as contact information. Please e-mail me. Thanks from down-under.

As the saying goes: "If you gotta ask, you probably can't afford it."
I haven't a clue where Dale Chihuly's work can be purchased, but if it is
on exhibit, I would ask if the work being exhibited is for sale. It probably
is already sold, as I suspect all of Chihuly's production is probably sold
before it is finished.
Chihuly's studio is called Pilchuk and is located about fifty miles north
of Seattle, Washington. Lesser known but equally collectible are
Chihuly's design drawings from which the glass pieces evolve. As with
many artists, Chihuly himself does NOT do the actual work. He supervises
the skilled glass blowers and glass artisans who actually produce the
work, and Pilchuk is a full fledged school for aspiring glass artists, as
I understand it.
I suspect that anything he produces is going to be in six figures, at least.
That's US$ $xxx,xxx.00

found, still supports, and often works during the summer. The majority
of his work, however is made at "The Boathouse," his personal glass
studio in Seattle.

I am the owner of a gallery in Portland, Oregon, USA that deals in
traditional fine art. However, many of my clients are avid collectors
of Chihully's work. If you would like to purchase some, I would be
glad to be of assistance. The price of his work varies considerably,
5K to 250K with average work in the 20/30,000 range. Being
close to the source, I would be happy to work at a "less than N.Y.
mark-up". I could E-Mail images and prices to anyone interested.

Mattison, I have no association nor interest in the Cowles Gallery. I do
own the Uptown Gallery in NYC and take offense to your statement. Very
often an artist is "made" by their dealer/gallery. If it wasn't for them,
very few, if any would know who the artist is!!! Besides.....an artists
job is to create....a dealers job is to promote and sell!!!

his own dealers. The Boathouse, his studio, is not a discount warehouse
for seconds.
Also, art dealers are basically small-business owners. They provide a
place to show, publicity, and a list of clientele that they've cultivated
over time. Legitimate gallery owners are not out to fleece artists.
They are not the enemy. They're working as hard as artists are at trying
to make a living from art in a culture where art is undervalued.
No, I'm not an art dealer, I'm a curator and artist.

His work is available. The Foster White Gallery in Seattle has a room that's
dedicated to showing his stuff. They have several Machias, Seaforms, Venetians,
and a couple of the big spheres (name?). All are for sale.

Although Chihuly did found the Pilchuck glass school, he doesn't
do his work there. His studio is in Seattle, on Lake Union. It is called
the BoatHouse.

Actually, it's typically less than that. Although his wall arrangements can
certainly cost many hundreds of thousands of $s, the individual pieces, like
those mentioned above, are more in the 10k-25k US$ range.
Also, his pieces seem to come up for sale at art auctions or by private parties
fairly often.

Foster/White also has work in their Kirkland (WA) gallery. At last count there
were 47 galleries across the US selling his work.

Also, the reason that he does not actually work with the hot glass is that back
in the 70's ('72 I think) he was involved in an auto accident that caused him to
loose the sight in one eye. He is not handicapped by this lose except in
actually working with the glass. When you are dealing with 2000 F glass, you
want to make sure that you have GREAT depth perception. But I have seen him add
"touches" occasionally.

At a recent Sothby's auction, there were about 15 pieces by Dale. About half
sold - for more than the estimate. This is a bit unusual as I have found that
his work usually goes below estimate at auction.
If you are interested in his older work - pre '86 - check with Elliott Brown
Gallery in Seattle, WA. Kate Elliott specializes in his older work. She worked
for him for many years and was also head of Pilchuck Glass School for awhile.
Cheers,
Bob
