Stunning To See In Person At The Bellagio, Interesting Book & DVD,
This review is from: Chihuly Bellagio (Book & DVD) (Hardcover)
Explore Fiori di Como, a colorful garden of glass hanging overhead, created by Chihuly in 1998 specifically for the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Today, this installation is one of Chihuly's most well-known public installations, weighing over 40,000 pounds. The revised edition includes all new photographs and an expanded format highlighting the 2,000-piece structure accompanied by a twenty-minute DVD of the installation.
"Everything about the 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 involved in suspending a 40,000-pound artwork overhead." --Dale Chihuly A brief informative interview with the artist is included in this book. 2007 Hardcover with DVD 10 x 10" 78 pages, 53 Color Photographs

This review is from: Chihuly Bellagio (Book & DVD) (Hardcover)
What a great book for anyone new to Dale Chihuly or a long time fan. If I can't afford to own one of his pieces I can have a book or two. Great story along with fantastic pictures of this wildly talented and fun man. I had the pleasure of seeing one of his chandeliers in person at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FLA and that sparked my interest in this artist. I am now headed to Seattle for the start of a trip and will get to see more of his work at the MFA there.

Both the book and the video are excellent showcases of this Chihuly masterpiece in the Ballagio Lobby. You must see it to believe it! STUNNING!
