The Bellagio Resort and Casino
Presenting Iconic Artist Dale Chihuly, 365 Days a Week,
24 hrs. a Day
the
Bellagio Resort and Casino on the storied Las Vegas strip. Among the can’t miss attractions
at
the Bellagio none attracts more attention than Dale Chihuly’s Fiori di Como ,
consisting of
more
than 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers covering the massive ceiling of Bellagio’s palatial
lobby.
Chihuly’s Iconic Craft
Seattle-based
glass artist Dale Chihuly’s unique combination of botanical design elements fused
into grand scale glass creations makes him a one-of-a-kind treasure
in the fine art community.
Each
Chihuly project represents a painstaking collaboration between his team of
glassblowers,
the
artist himself who designs and oversees each aspect of the production. For the
Bellagio
Resort
and Casino’s Fiori di Como , a permanent fixture, Chihuly worked in consultation with
the hotel’s
developer Steve Wynn and his wife.
The Fiori di Como at the Bellagio – the Artist’s Most Challenging Creation
“Everything about Fiori di Como was new the scale, the
armature, and the glass. First I had to
develop
the way the ceiling would look the depth, new glass forms, the technique for
holding
the
glass, all the safety issues involving suspending a 40,000 pound artwork
overhead,” Chihuly
said
in an interview published on the artist’s website.
“We started by constructing four prototypes in my studio for
Elaine and Steve Wynn to see,”
Chihuly
said. “After
Steve made three trips to Seattle, we finally decided on the right look for
the
project one that had ten feet of depth and required a very complicated steel
armature that
comes
down like branches of a tree. Color was the most difficult challenge, and the
structure was
the
most difficult technical challenge.”
