The Galleries of Christian Riese Lassen: His pursuit of excellence has led Christian Riese Lassen to create ultramodern galleries— venues whose interiors feature marble flooring, hand-painted walls, 16-screen video walls and infrared lighting. “I want the galleries to excite my patrons as much as my work does,” Christian explains. The artist himself owns galleries— on the Hawaiian island of Maui, on internationally famous Front Street, Lahaina; and on world-renowned Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. And for those whose taste runs to the slightly more outrageous, there’s the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Lassen Galerie goes beyond bold!
