Get a glimpse inside Dale Chihuly's creative process in
Chihuly Faxes. With 21 color photographs and 130 faxes
handpicked from an archive of 7,500, this publication,
featuring a foreword by renowned author Francine Prose,
boasts an analysis of technology's role in communicating
bold ideas. In her words, Prose likens this collection to
looking at "dreams about art" and suggests that we, as
a society, "may have undervalued the fax transmission.

This assemblage of words and sketches reflects the
depth of scale prominent in Chihuly's work as well as
the fax machine's unique capacity to bring his ideas to
life. Experience the intimacy of pen to paper and the
immediacy of an artist's energy with faxed images from
exhibitions, installations, projects, books and letters
along with a chronology of the artist's work and a who's
who of fax recipients and subjects.
