Arts Chihuly Settles
Props to Regina Hackett: she reported this morning in the P-I that Dale Chihuly has settled his suit against Bryan Rubino, the glassblower who worked for Chihuly and whom Chihuly accused of making knockoffs.
“I guess the most important thing I realized is something I probably knew all along. At least among artists, it is best to resolve our differences one on one. I am pleased that Mr. Rubino and I were able to do that,” the P-I reports that Chihuly stated in a release sent Thursday night (now how did I get left off of that press list?).
Hackett raises another spectre for Chihuly that could result in a lawsuit from a disgruntled dealer, Doyle LaCount, the man who ran www.chihulyscrewedme.com (which was shut down recently): whether Chihuly’s publishing company or galleries misrepresent his contributions to his prints (he doesn’t directly paint on them).
Thoughts?
Look in the Seattle Tiems on Monday for the big Dale investigation by their critic and an i reporter
