8 CLAES OLDENBURG AND COOSJE VAN BRUGGEN

(AMERICAN, B. 1929/AMERICAN, B. 1942; D. 2009)

Typewriter Eraser, Scale X, 1998–1999 Pedestrian Bridge, Near Mandarin Oriental, Las VegasOne of the best examples of celebrated pop artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen

is this 24-foot-high Typewriter Eraser. This playful use of a common everyday object,

one that is possibly unknown to recent generations, is a unique experience, meant to elicit

humor and curiosity.

9 ISA GENZKEN (GERMAN, B. 1948)

Rose II, 2007 Outside Crystals Front Entrance, Near Las Vegas BoulevardIsa Genzken’s 26-foot rose sculpture rises delicately, infusing a sense of nature and beauty

through the surrounding landscape and architecture. One of Germany’s most prominent

artists, Genzken’s work ranges from sculpture to photography to painting that combines

personal elements with references to architecture, modernism and art history.

10 GLACIA (FOUNTAINS OF CITYCENTER)

CrystalsGlacia “cools” guests with large pillars of carved ice that rise as tall as 15 feet. As each rises,

it is magically whittled into intricate patterns while mesmerizing spectral light contributes

to a one-of-a-kind sensory experience.

11 HALO (FOUNTAINS OF CITYCENTER)

CrystalsThe unexpected nature of Halo’s twisting water vortices, tipped as though about to fall,

presents a sense of mystique for guests wandering among Crystals’ lavish shops. Stroll

through, touch or embrace this maze of spinning water, all the while staying completely dry.

12 JAMES TURRELL

The James Turrell Installation at Crystals, 2013 Crystals’ ARIA Express Tram LevelJames Turrell is an internationally acclaimed light and space artist whose works play with

perception and the eff ect of light within a created space. With the commission for The Shops

at Crystals, Turrell responded to the unique architecture of the space to create artworks that

can be experienced from multiple vantage points—whether seen from afar as subtly changing

planes of color or from immersed within an area fl ooded with light. He believes human

perception to be his true medium; in his words, “My art is about your seeing”.

13 LATISSE (FOUNTAINS OF CITYCENTER)

ARIA Resort & Casino, North LobbyLatisse soars as a series of two-story-high water walls composed purely of thick, textured

glass. Brilliant white lighting illuminates the sloping glass planes, producing the illusion

of an elegant fl oor-to-ceiling, liquid chandelier.

14 JENNY HOLZER (AMERICAN, B. 1950)

VEGAS, 2009 ARIA Resort & Casino, North Valet PickupTruly a monumental, full-body experience, Jenny Holzer’s LED installation of more than

250 feet is considered one of the largest installations she has ever created. Holzer made

her mark in 1976 with her fi rst public work, Truisms, profound statements that appeared as

anonymous broadsheets posted around Manhattan, later programmed into electronic signs.

15 NANCY RUBINS (AMERICAN, B. 1952)

Big Edge, 2009 Harmon CircleWith hundreds of boats carefully sculpted together, Nancy Rubins’ monumental Big Edge

creates the perfect centerpiece for the city’s greatest architectural achievement. Rubins,

a sculptor and artisan famous for grandiose works created from salvaged, industrial

consumer goods, was selected for the collection based on her ability to achieve this scale

of work with such grandeur.

1 HENRY MOORE (BRITISH, B. 1898; D. 1986)

Reclining Connected Forms, 1969–1974 The ParkEnglish artist and sculptor Henry Moore was the most celebrated sculptor of

his time. Inspired by the fundamentals of the human experience—the primary theme

of his life’s work—Moore’s abstractions of the human fi gure usually depict mother

and child or reclining forms.

2 MAYA LIN (AMERICAN, B. 1959)

Silver River, 2009 ARIA Resort & Casino, Registration DeskA recreation of the Colorado River, this commission was created entirely of cast reclaimed

silver. One of the most important public artists of the 21st century, Maya Lin’s work maintains

a balance between art and architecture, including large-scale, site-specifi c installations,

intimate studio artwork and memorials, such as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

3 LUMIA (FOUNTAINS OF CITYCENTER)

ARIA Resort & Casino, Main EntranceTwisting ribbons and large arcs of streaming water create bold, captivating “water sparks”

at their intersections. Lumia is the fi rst fountain to be lit so the vibrant colors are visible

during daylight.

4 FOCUS (FOUNTAINS OF CITYCENTER)

ARIA Resort & Casino, Outside LobbyEver-changing, choreographed patterns eff ortlessly sweep across this expansive, curved

water wall, made of highly textured stone. The all-enveloping fl ow creates a calming,

ocean-like timbre.

5 FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE (FRENCH B. 1927; D. 2008)

Tourterelle, 1997 ARIA Resort & Casino, Porte CochèreBest known for his bronze animal sculptures, François-Xavier Lalanne is one of the world’s

most original designer-sculptors. Solo and with his wife, Claude, with whom he collaborated

for the last half-century, Lalanne created sculptures that were reliably whimsical and witty.

6 TONY CRAGG (BRITISH, B. 1949)

Bolt, 2007 Bent of Mind, 2008 Untitled (Tall Column), 2008 ARIA Resort & Casino, Self-Park LobbyCragg’s biomorphic forms investigate the physics of materials and spark a dialogue between

man, material and the world. These three towering columns exemplify how the sculptor uses

a material such as stainless steel to its fullest extent, pushing the boundaries of the material,

while creating exceedingly graceful works of art with substantial presence.

7 RICHARD LONG (BRITISH, B. 1945)

Circle of Chance and Earth, 2009 Veer Towers, LobbiesKnown as one of Britain’s best-known sculptors and conceptual artists, the majority of

Richard Long’s works, inspired by the natural landscapes, are created using natural materials

such as wood and stones. With these two awe-inspiring wall drawings, we encounter his

energetic use of mud from the River Avon, which Long applied directly with his own hands.

22 MASATOSHI IZUMI (JAPANESE, B. 1938)

CACTUS Life – living with the Earth , 2007-2008 Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, Porte CochèreMasatoshi Izumi’s graceful sculpture is made of large pieces of intricately poised basalt—a

form of lava that has cooled on the surface of a volcano. It towers more than 17 feet and

weighs approximately eight tons. Izumi’s work celebrates harmony with nature by taking

existing forms and altering them slightly to reveal an even more beautiful state.

23 JUN KANEKO (JAPANESE, B. 1942)

Untitled, Dango, 2002 Untitled, Triangle Dango, 1996 Untitled, Dango, 1992 Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, Ground Floor Hotel LobbyJapanese ceramic artist Jun Kaneko’s three works off er the perfect balance of scale and

design, allowing the work to unify within the surrounding architectural design. Made entirely

of clay and fi red in a giant kiln, the tallest of the three sculptures reaches an impressive

seven-feet-tall, a diffi cult feat in ceramics. The name “dango” means “Japanese dumpling.”

24 JACK GOLDSTEIN (CANADIAN, B. 1945; D. 2003)

Untitled (Volcano), 1983 Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, Sky Lobby (23rd Floor)Jack Goldstein’s paintings focus on imagery of natural phenomena, capturing the

“spectacular instant,” in this case, a volcanic eruption. Goldstein is among the most

infl uential postmodern artists of the 1970s and ’80s and is widely recognized for his

pioneering work in sound, fi lm and painting.

12 ANTONY GORMLEY (BRITISH, B. 1950)

Feeling Material XXVIII, 2007 ARIA Resort & Casino, VIP West OculusOver the last 25 years, Antony Gormley has reinvigorated the human image in sculpture

through a radical investigation of the body as a place of transformation, using his own body as

subject and tool. This suspended reinvention of the human form interacts with the space

on multiple levels.

Damascus Gate Variation I, 1969 Vdara Hotel, Registration DeskFrank Stella’s incredibly vibrant art makes the Vdara Lobby come alive with its fl uorescent

colors and interweaving shaped canvas. Recognized for more than 45 years for important

contributions to abstract expressionism, sculpture and the concept of the shaped canvas,

Stella’s work has been the subject of several retrospectives in the United States, Europe

and Japan.

17 PETER WEGNER (AMERICAN, B. 1963)

Day for Night, Night for Day, 2009 Vdara Hotel, Concierge LobbyAmerican artist Peter Wegner’s installations fuse art and architecture through the creation

of towering sculptures made from the most ordinary object: a sheet of paper. These two

gridded stacks of blue and red have both the color balance of a great painting and the physical

presence of a powerful sculpture.
