Acclaimed painters, sculptors, and installation artists are showcased at The ARIA.
The free-to-visit collection includes works by Sanford Biggers, Jenny Holzer, Parker Ito, Rashid Johnson, Maya Lin, Claes Oldenburg, Coojsje van Bruggen, Nancy Rubins, Julian Schnabel, Frank Stella, James Turrell, and others.
A unique attraction incorporated into the public areas of the ARIA Campus, the ARIA Fine Art Collection allows visitors to enjoy a free, self-guided tour. Art enthusiasts of all generations will be impressed by the wide-ranging techniques and media used in the collection. The walking tour immerses visitors in fine artworks, unique sculptures, and large-scale installations. Some pieces already existed, but many were created for the space they occupy, allowing the artist to develop a vision for the area.
Highlights of the ARIA Fine Art Collection:
Suspended above the check-in area at the Aria Resort & Casino is Maya Lin’s “Silver River,” an 84-ft. rendition of the Colorado River. It’s cast entirely out of reclaimed silver and is the perfect beginning of your walking tour of the ARIA Fine Art Collection.
Nancy Rubin’s “Big Edge,” formed of rowboats and other watercraft made of aluminum, is a spectacular centerpiece at CityCenter that every art lover will admire.
While most of the tour is near CityCenter, visitors hoping to see “Seven Magic Mountains” by Ugo Rondinone will need to arrange transportation to the popular outdoor installation. The brightly colored statues are located in Henderson, Nevada, 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway junction.
