vtcruising Posted July 20, 2019 Author #53 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I found this link to a description of the meaning of the butterfly wings on the Edge. Like much of the art on the Edge, the wings are amazing and the meaning got me a little choked up. I can't wait to go back in January and make a wish! 🙂 You can scroll through and see other sets of wings the artist has done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted July 20, 2019 #55 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thanks for re.posting link to the Art Book. Do we know if there is a curator or onboard art collection curator/contact. Wondering how long some of the installations will remain on board...??? Still hoping to org some type of art crawl for Nov EDGE but not sure if my fellow roll call members will be so inclined Most are going to be on EDGE for the first time..

For each of us, the art on EDGE resonates in many different ways..For me the caterpillar/ butterfly metamorphis represents the traditional view of future hopes and dreams for the future. Ready to take flight! .and of course it is a powerful symbol for breast cancer survivors and their families. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually surprised that in addition to Theater tours and Behind the Scenes ship tours, that EDGE doesn’t offer a curated art tour. No, not art for sale disguised as a tour. A real tour of the art on Edge by a knowledgeable art curator who can talk about the artists, why major pieces were selected, etc. I’d pay for that in a heartbeat. And my DH would love all the photo ops. Edited July 20, 2019 by DebInAntigua Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me a cabin, access to the MDRs and the Premium drink package and I will be happy to help them out! 😀 Edited July 20, 2019 by vtcruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait until our Apex art tour. Don't forget to take the Edge Art Tour people in the elevators to find some interesting characters, including the guy in post #51. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my DH would love all the photo ops. We'd join that tour as well and be willing to pay. I want to contact excursions dept or suggestions dept to see if they might provide a guide. On QM 2 they had the recorded art tour with headphones, available at no cost from Guest Services. It was great. Anyhow.can't hurt to try, Absent a ship's excursion, I am hoping you will join in for the art crawl for the Nov EDGE. .If we and and husbs go..that's 4. A very good start, group of 8 would be perfect...ending at Cafe Baccio where some intriguing items are located. I have no concrete plans right now and am not an art expert, but I do have the art book and the postcards, and some recollection of where a few goodies are located based on 7 days on board, the all access tour and a cabin crawl. I will post about it with link to this thread and the book. Vt..do you think there's a chance we could get X to do a tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted July 21, 2019 #62 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Vt..can you link to the X website where they disuss the Art Collection..I know it was there someplace! No word yet on APEX art???? Hope it will be as exciting as that on EDGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of other questions so may check in with them soon. I think it is an excellent idea and said the same thing on our cruises. It is crazy that they don't offer an art tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we will see much about Apex art until the finish work workers start leaking them out like they did with the Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the most "smoldering" eyes, they look right thru you. This was one of my favorites! The One of the other elevators has the matching "lady" to this gentleman, she is very stunning also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted July 21, 2019 #67 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Going to be tough getting to the elev art and mdr art ( each one has great stuff).... If we dont get help from X , thinking of doing the crawl by areas and asking each participant to work out their sector.. EDEN art..inside and out Hallways to EDEN including the Forest Restaurant hallways Outside Art Cafe al Baccio Kind of overwheliming..or we could just wander with the art book...

Rare hcat Posted July 22, 2019 #70 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Off topic: Hope you rest up well... Still hot as heck here on Long Island NY. Got in one very early hour of weeding a small flower bed...just too darn hot and humid to do much more. Storms are predicted later this afternoon to break the heat...Friends in Fla find it odd that it is hotter up here! On topic: Inside the postcards there is a nice overview of some of the most notable items... I forgot to list the stairwells at both ends of the ship and the stateroom corridors. There is info on the Copyrights plus the following info: Ally Millard/ Creative Director Peter Millard and Partners, Ltd. ( Art Consultants to Celebrity Edge) Art Book designed by SWD London Wonder if they are doing APEX??? Edited July 22, 2019 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain is cooling things down. Right now it is 66. When I left work Saturday night at 10 PM, it was still 82 degrees and 72 when I left for work Sunday morning at 6:30 AM. Living in VT, I hate to complain about the heat, so I won't. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted July 22, 2019 #73 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Sounds good.. Not sure if you have the cards and or the Art book... The book organizes by areas on the ship and there's a list in the back that matches the art piece no. with the art/ artist info..something like that... We have lost some early followers of the thread...hope they return! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
