Publisher Notes
The challenge was to bring beauty to Paradise -- and the Sun and Moon. Sol Kerzner asked Dale Chihuly to make dazzling yet approachable sculptures for his new Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island. Chihuly's answer, four sculptures that respond to Atlantis' architecture and the singular beauty of the site. The Crystal Gate is a glittering fountain of crystal soaring nearly 20 feet into the air. The Temple of the Sun has more than 2,300 yellow, orange, and red elements radiating from a fiery globe high atop a Mayan Temple. The Temple of the Moon is a cool and distant orb of opalescent white and cobalt blue glass. Finally, the magnificent Atlantis Seaform Chandelier is made up of delicate shades highlighted with gold and silver forms such as Jellyfish, anemones, squid, and seaweed together in a wild array. In this beautiful book. designed by Werkhaus Design, each exquisite piece is shown from concept through completion. Chihuly, working with a great creative team of artists, glassblowers, and Installers, created glass sculptures that dazzle with the magic of light.
