6 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 20 hours agoThis story is about recent trends in modern hotels involving art. Specifically, this article details the Thompson LES, a hotel in Manhattan, New York. Above each bed is a giant light box featuring a picture of a tree from a specific artists series. This adds an organic element to the rooms. There is also a large pool in the hotel that boasts a giant picture of Andy Warhol on the bottom. This shows how art has been fused with architecture in more obvious ways than in the past.
