Work of Art

I love everything that Julian Schnabel's amazing creativity produces! Gramercy Park Hotel, the fire place at the Rose bar, a pink palazzo on top of an old factory in New York does. Schnabel says he was influenced by a visit he took to the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua Italy and the Giotto frescoes inside but also by American architects Addison Mizner and Stanford White which is why there are Moorish, Turkish and Venetian motifs throughout.
The building houses five residences including his own which is the perfect backdrop for not only Schnabel's own art but his amazing collection of art by Luigi Ontani, Francis Picabia, Cy Twombly, and Man Ray.In the basement of the building is the swimming pool, a very rare occurance in New York
