| - Yelp 100 Challenge * 4/100
I still get mind-blown by Dale Chihuly's glass art deco at the Bellagio that hangs above the hotel lobby's ceiling upon entrance, an extravagant welcome (and topper) after any experience at the fountains that still leaves me smiling today. And to actually step foot in one of his galleries felt almost surreal.
This was the first in line to a series of galleries at Crystals place at City Center. As we got in, my friends and I were greeted with a nice, warm welcome by art consultants, Terri and Bravo, who were both very accomodating and ready to answer any questions we might've had. Terri introduced us to the acrylic lithographs that started at about $2000 and were considered the cheapest art pieces in the gallery while the cheapest glass sculpture was priced at about $4500. Shaped to perfection and precise geometry, I would argue that despite the price, it's well worth it.
Besides the utterly expensive professional pieces, be mindful that there are other products available for purchase such as books, DVDs and even Chihuly art kits for souvenirs that are within the 2-digit price range so be sure to look into those as well. As we were about to leave, Terri handed us a catalog filled with amazing Chihuly's artwork. I'm particularly attracted to the Cerulean Macchia, a cute and colorful glass sculpture that brings about so much beauty, pretty sure it'd brighten any room.
