The News, Glass art pioneer talks about highs, lows of his struggles with bipolar disorder
The private studio of glass artist Dale Chihuly reflects his obsession with collecting, from stamps and pocket knives to carnival-prize figurines on shelves that reach the ceiling. But amid the ordered clutter, some items hint at something more: a long row of Ernest Hemingway titles in one bookcase, an entire wall devoted to Vincent van Gogh—homages to creative geniuses racked by depression. Chihuly, 75, has also struggled with his mental health, and he discusses his bipolar disorder in detail for the first time publicly in an AP interview.
