Chihuly Canopy
One of the most interesting entrances to a hotel has to be at the Soho Metropolitan in the theatre district. Its entrance is topped by a canopy which includes a Dale Chihuly sculpture consisting of 80 incredible glass pieces. The canopy by the American glass master was installed in 2003 and is rumoured to have cost $500,000!. I'll post a detail shot tomorrow.
Now you are talking about something I love. Chihuly sculptures are a favorite of mine. This must be great to look up and see. I bet it's lit up at night!
ReplyDeleteThe three tall sculptures that I pictured on 10/21 cost the garden 1 million dollars. He certainly commands top dollar.
Beautiful entrance. Is it lit at night?
ReplyDeleteSharon : I am a big fan of Chihuly too. Wish I had one!
ReplyDeleteRandy: I am going to try for a night shot.
That is a bit different.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I've never seen anything like it.
