Tulips by Jeff Koons Returns to Wynn Las Vegas

Wynn Las Vegas welcomes the return of Tulips by renowned artist Jeff Koons, now on public display in Wynn Plaza. The sculpture of balloon flowers was previously at Wynn Palace in Cotai, China for more than three years. Originally installed at Wynn Las Vegas from 2013 – 2016, the showpiece quickly became an icon of the Las Vegas art scene and a must-see for art lovers from around the world. Tulips was acquired in November 2012 for $33,682,500. The sculpture represents a bouquet of twisted balloon tulips fashioned in stainless steel, then plated in a vivid spectrum of color brought to a mirrored shine. The gleaming surfaces reflect both the viewer and the artwork itself, resulting in a kaleidoscope of infinite replications. Although the sculpture implies weightlessness it is paradoxically heavy, made from more than three tons of metal. For more information, contact Eric Kreller, Wynn Las Vegas, [email protected]
