Restaurant crocodiles go to auction: Two whimsical sculptures, designed by Frank Gehry for Rebecca's restaurant, are on the block.
The whimsical artworks, designed by Frank Gehry, once graced Rebecca's, the fabled Venice restaurantPlenty of people have done just that, meaning that restaurant-related keepsakes truly do run the gamut for gourmands possessing a strong sense of nostalgia.
Items like cocktail napkins emblazoned with a restaurant's name, stir sticks bearing the venue's logo, or business cards, which are often found at a restaurant's host stand, help diners keep a physical reminder, something that summons the memory of a nice night out. But procuring two giant metal crocodile pendants, a pair of whimsical and utilitarian artworks designed by a world-famous architect?
Let's just call those particular restaurant souvenirs rather rarer, when compared to cocktail napkins or stir sticks and the traditional gewgaws we keep after a great dining experience. Rebecca's, the celebrated but long-closed Venice restaurant, was once home to two reptilian artworks that held dramatic sway over guests enjoying cocktails below. The creator of the pieces? That would be Frank Gehry, the iconic architect behind Walt Disney Concert Hall and a host of other lauded landmarks.
