Who would have believed that Las Vegas, in its ongoing transformation, would become a center of fine public art?  Certainly not yours truly, at least not until recently.<\/p>\n

This is especially true at the $10 billion CityCenter, where part of the master plan included $40 million to purchase some world-class pieces.   One of these is by English sculptor Henry Moore, a work called Reclining Connected Forms<\/strong>.  It is one of several similar-styled pieces by the same artist found around the globe.<\/p>\n

Here are some specifics:  Crafted between 1969-1974 of Roman travertine marble. A massive piece measuring 10 x 17 x 7 feet. It is thought to represent a baby wrapped in its mother’s embrace.  <\/p>\n

You can find this work between ARIA Resort & Casino and Crystals retail and entertainment district<\/p>\n
