Throughout Dale Chihuly’s long career, the artist has made objects out of blown glass, ranging from small tabletop vessels to monumental installations. In the late 1990s, hotel owner Steve Wynn asked the artist to create a site-specific installation in the lobby of his Las Vegas hotel the Bellagio. In 1998, Chihuly oversaw a team as they suspended his Fiori di Como from the hotel’s ceiling, treating guests to an explosion of color, light, and shimmering glass. Fiori di Como means “Flowers of Como” in Italian, and the work is a representation of Italian flowers in the spring. With approximately 20,000 visitors each day, the iconic work draws a crowd.
