CHIHULY vs. KAINDL

Why is This Page Still Up After 2 Years?

To let people know exactly what happened when Dale Chihuly sued me in this Landmark lawsuit, and how the lawsuit ended up. It’s up to you to determine if Greed and Arrogance was a driving force behind this lawsuit or not. Moreover, was this lawsuit a corporate veiled attempt to naturalize their biggest and most creative competitor or not.

Nonetheless, I firmly believe that this lawsuit was a Huge win for all Artists worldwide!  I am exceedingly happy with the outcome.  At great personal expense, I clearly defended not just Glass Art, but specifically the Art industry itself.  As well as, the full rights of creative expression for all Artists Worldwide. 

When considering a glass artist for your next project, please be aware of who you are hiring, and how disconnected some artists actually are from their own art - no matter what their company's advertise or proclaim.

What is the value of an artist’s work if they themselves do not: design it, create it, choose any colors (colorist on staff), have never touched their own work, nor even seen a single component of their own project. Furthermore, not have physically installed any pieces, not been present at the installation (work installed by laborers), or personally signed their own signature on the mass production art glass creations that bare a specific artists name on any components or art glass works. At what point is the lack of any artist’s artistic input actually just a contemptible production piece or a craft lacking any intrinsic value? 

I would like to point out that unlike some artists ... I design, create and install every single component on every art glass chandelier that I make.  My signature is proudly on all of my work, thus guaranteeing its provenance; and ensures that I personally made it:  Not a student or a contracted artisan.

Thank you for your time,

Robert Kaindl
