We invite you to explore Fiori di Como, a colorful garden of glass hanging overhead, created by Chihuly in 1998 specifically for the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Today, this installation is one of Chihuly’s most well-known public installations, weighing over 40,000 pounds. The revised edition includes all new photographs and an expanded format highlighting the 2,000-piece structure accompanied by a twenty-minute DVD of the installation. “Everything about the Fiori di Como was new—the scale, the armature, and the glass. First I had to develop the way the ceiling would look—the depth, new glass forms, the technique for holding the glass, all the safety issues involved in suspending a 40,000-pound artwork overhead.” —Dale Chihuly
