Conrad Pickel focused highlights for Celebration:
1. Conrad Pickel Gallery Fantasia, 1000 South Federal Hwy.
Nautical Museum - Gallery fantasia building often referred to as a ship.
BB is the closest point of entry to the Gulfstream Waterway. Museum would house an exhibit
from the point of view of BB and the County looking out at the Caribbean Basin. "The most
strategic basin of water in the hemisphere," John Grant Ocean Learning Institute in WPB.
Endorsed by NY Historical Society and Ntl'Art Gallery in Washington DC
Gallery Fantasia (date closed 1983)
Could have developed it as the soul of the City "If you don't have a Cultural Center of a City it's
just like an empty shell."
Asked City's Mayor (James Warnke) and administration for financial aid but they didn't even
grant him a tax reduction for the gallery. Mayor - "hope those interested in culture here an band
together to preserve the gallery."
2. "Towers of Peace" "Hibiscus" Vero Beach
Monumental "stained Glass Tower of Peace" 180' take 10 years to complete $30 million
An active International Art Complex
Centerpiece of an awesome center for the performing and graphic arts to attract millions of
European visitors and participants seeking amenities America lacks.
Topped by a revolving restaurant with gold leaf roof would be five spheres each 45' in
diameter, perched on a single column but connected to the main tower by skyways.
Within spheres depicted in stained glass a panoramic history of America nearly 50 years ago
honoring the greatest people and accompaniments of this western civilization.
Clustered around the spheres would be theaters and exhibit halls dedicated to artistic music,
dance, sculpture and painting.
3. "Picket Decralite Blocks" (Glowing Bricks) - Shown on Gallery Fantasia and many buildings
throughout Boynton Beach. At age 61 he created concrete bricks containing stained glass used in
everyday architecture or home use.
4. Largest Stained Glass Window, Chicago's Resurrection Mausoleum ($460,000.00)
The Beginning - Church in Minn, St Helen's looking for stained glass windows. Priest told him
commission was out of the question doubted his qualifications
Pickle offer to make one window for $2,300 if it met approval he would give Conrad the
commission
