"Presenting my solo exhibition, CHIHULY, at the Groninger Museum was a major honor. Not only was it my largest exhibition ever in a European museum and an opportunity to share my work with an entirely new audience, but the institution’s aesthetic itself is so inspiring" –Dale Chihuly, 2019
Leslie and Dale Chihuly, Groninger Museum, Groningen, Netherlands, 2018
The immensely popular exhibition, CHIHULY (2018–19), drew over 156,000 visitors to the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands, each of whom had the opportunity to view 16 installations ranging from Reeds, to Persians, to personal correspondence created by the artist. One of the exhibition's highlights was Grand Stairwell Installation (2018), comprised of 70 red, orange, and yellow exotic glass forms, custom-designed for the centerpiece staircase of the museum. Following the conclusion of the exhibition in 2019, and with the support of Vereniging Rembrandt and the Mondriaan Fund, the Groninger Museum acquired the bespoke work, making it a permanent fixture of the museum’s collection.
