Color, Glass and Form is the landmark early monograph on the work of internationally celebrated glass artist Dale Chihuly. Published by Kodansha International in 1986 with a foreword by renowned curator Henry Geldzahler, the volume presents a richly illustrated survey of Chihuly’s groundbreaking explorations in glass, color, light, and sculptural form during a pivotal period in his career. Lavishly produced with vibrant full-color plates, the book documents Chihuly’s iconic organic glass forms and experimental installations that helped redefine contemporary studio glass in the late twentieth century. The publication also reflects the collaborative and highly innovative spirit that made Chihuly one of the most influential figures in modern American art and glassmaking. This copy is especially desirable as it is signed and inscribed by Dale Chihuly and features an original full-page drawing dated 1986 on the pink front endpaper. The drawing and inscription transform the book from an already important exhibition monograph into a unique collectible artifact directly connected to the artist’s hand. Hardcover with original dust jacket. An exceptional collector’s piece for admirers of contemporary art, studio glass, Pacific Northwest artists, and signed art books.
