Dale Chihuly, American glass artist, will have works included in the Fine Arts collection showing around the Las Vegas “CityCenter” public spaces. His beautiful shapes, daring configurations, all in glorious color, can be very dramatic.
Born in Tacoma, WA, Chihuly’s pieces are prized and can be found in more than 200 museums across the world – and he will even do a chandelier for someone’s McMansion!
