Provenance / History : of Art brought the first major Dale Chihuly art exhibition to Dallas in 1994. In conjunction with the exhibition, the museum held related educational events, film presentations, and workshops, including one afternoon event for members and their children. It was at this special family event that the listed Chihuly painting was born. Hosted by Dale Chihuly personally, he spoke to guests about his love for the art of glassblowing and how an accident had left him blind in one eye. He explained that his visual impairment prevented him from being able to properly see the depths, dimensions, and other intricacies involved in the glass blowing process. Since Chihuly believes all these elements are critical to the creation of the glass forms he so loves, he now relies on sketches and paintings to communicate his visions and directions to the team of world class artisans working at his studio, "The Boathouse" in Seattle. To demonstrate how he worked with paints, multiple large art papers were arranged in a giant circle on the floor surrounding him. Also inside the circle were cans and bottles of acrylic paints along with an arsenal of unusual tools (gardening rakes, hoes, sponges, mops, etc.). Standing in a circle surrounding the art papers, adults and children alike enjoyed the narrated performance dance of this artistic master as Chihuly explained his processes and the techniques he was using as he worked. Several days later, museum representatives notified attendees that Chihuly had donated the finished paintings to the DMA for use in raising funds to support additional educational programs. Interested members met at a designated time at the museum the following week -- and all paintings were sold within five minutes. Over the years, Chihuly's inspirational sketches and designs have grown in value with hard-to-find original works attracting an even greater collector interest.
