"Trade blankets, often called "Pendletons" after their best-known manufacturer, were woven in hundreds of combinations of colors and designs by woolen mills. Chihuly, who had studied weaving and textiles, became intrigued by the blankets' vibrant beauty and began collecting them. Included in this collection are blankets not only from Pendleton Woolen Mills, but also from other manufacturers, such as J. Capps and Sons, Buell Manufacturing Company, Racine Woolen Mills, and Oregon City Woolen Mills. Also included in this volume are selections of Chihuly's series of Blanket Cylinders. This series features an innovative technique: threads of colored glass are fused into a drawing of a blanket design, then picked up on the surface of hot cylinders, resulting in an image that vividly evokes a blanket's unique texture, pattern, and colors. Chihuly's Pendletons has 172 full-color reproductions, including blankets from the artist's private collection, historical photographs, and the distinguished Blanket Cylinders series. The volume also features an essay by Chihuly on his attraction to the blankets and his creative process in developing the series"-- Jacket.

Chihuly is a supremely imaginative master of technique and bravura. Extraordinary, magical glass is his stock-in-trade, and the Silvered series is among the most technically ambitious and aesthetically adventurous art of his career so far. Jennifer Opie, from the introduction Though Chihuly first experimented with the effects of silvered glass in 1996, it wasn't until 2009 that he began to explore the full range of possibilities that silvering glass could have for his work, in particular in his Cylinder and Venetians series. The Silvered series that emerged from this experimentation is remarkably striking and singular for its stunning use of color and light. By using silvered glass Chihuly is able to extend the reflective quality of the glass to manipulate the colors in the works and, in some cases, to magnify the dimensionality and articulation of form. With an introduction by Jennifer Opie that places Chihuly's silvered glass in its broader historical context, Chihuly Silvered is the first comprehensive survey of Dale Chihuly's work using silvered glass showcasing the unique beauty of his newest series.

These everyday objects reflect the same playful, colorful aesthetic that can be seen in Dale Chihuly's sculptures and installations. Fully illustrated, Chihuly: An Artist Collects includes an essay by Chihuly's longtime friend, artist Bruce Helander, who considers why people collect and explores the collections of artists such as Damien Hirst, Peter Blake, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso--and of course, Dale Chihuly.
