In the intro to, it is written that Kew was his first work overseas, but there is no date given. At the bottom of the page, it mentions 2005. Was 2005 his first work at Kew? He did in fact begin working in Japan (Niijima International Glass Art Festival) in 1991. Can someone confirm the Kew dates?

You can look for yourself at http://www.chihuly.com/chrono/chronA.html, which shows many many international exhibitions before Kew, which is described there as his first in the UK. — Laura Scudder 03:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Even then, the chandelier in the V&A was installed in 2000. So possibly first UK exhibition, but not his first work in the UK. At that point the Kew exibition is just one of a series of international exhibitions and not particularly worth mentioning beyond its inclusion in the exhibition list. -- Solipsist 08:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the solo exhibit at the Louvre seems far more noteworthy ("one of only four American artists to have had a one-person exhibition at the Louvre" [1]), and yet has absolutely no mention right now. — Laura Scudder 15:01, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
