Well Rounded City-Vegas

Maya Lin

Earlier this year when the Las Vegas Art Museum closed, you had to figure that the only way art could survive in this city was for it to be housed inside of someones outrageous imagination. For a city already jammed with hotels and casinos, MGM has pushed forward with the completion of City Center, which is a glass city inside  a glass city. And they’ve promised that there will be art.

The Fine Art Collection will encompass a multitude of styles and media – ranging from sculptures and paintings and other works of art including large-scale installations – engaging visitors on both a visual and intellectual level. Some will be existing pieces, carefully chosen for their artistic value and cultural significance; others will be site-specific installations for which the artist has been invited to command their vision over the space

This past week Maya Lin supervised the installation of one of her sculptures and the works of Tony Cragg, Isa Genzken , Nancy Rubins and others are also slated to be showcased. My personal hope is that people see the art work before going to the casinos.
