It’s hard to take in much Dale Chihuly artwork without a big helping of artist worship. The international glass artist has an internationally strong public relations crew, not to mention on-staff photographers, videographers, personal assistants and an entire team of glassblowers making sure that the Chihuly brand — like the art — is big and visible.
“Chihuly Drawings,” newly opened at Tacoma’s Museum of Glass, is no exception. A gallery has been devoted to the artist’s process, and another is papered floor to ceiling with his fax messages.
