I just got back last night from my trip to Las Vegas, and while the Guggenheim was closed for installation, I was able to check out Dale Chihuly’s glass installation, Fiero del Como, in the lobby skylights of the Bellagio Hotel. It is composed of over 1,000 “flowers,” weighs over 40,000 lbs. and is reputed to have cost around $1 million. A thing of beauty in a city that seemed to be suffering from a lack of it.
