"a touch of accidental poetic truth, for all of these huge buildings are always burning with the slow and implacable fires of human desperation"

Hudson New York

9:25am

The Hudson hotel is one of the Morgan group hotels located in New York City. This hip hotel has a spectacular private garden. The ceiling of the lobby is made of glass, inspired by a green house with fake ivy crawling all over the ceiling, coupled by a huge chandelier off center. The cocktails are a superb treat in the unique lounge. While chilling on a ghost chair and looking down at frosted neon glass floor and a huge log made by Droog,  completed this edgy ambience . My experience staying in the hotel was outstanding from beginning to end.  Good location, whole foods, museums and central park were near by, and most of all I had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in for six days.

The Classics

Here are some of the classics I think will always be beautiful no matter how long you have them for or how worn  the furniture is. Charles & Ray Eames, Carl Hansen, Cherner , Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret & Charlotte Perriand, Eero Saarinen are those who inspired me when it comes to chairs and furniture design.

Figure in the Garden - St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake, all rendered in precise detail and finished in bold colors. Religious symbolism and references to mythology abound, yet any fixed meaning remains open and elusive.

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.”

A Retrospective

This first retrospective of drawings by the artist Richard Serra ( born 1939 ) traces the last forty years of his activity in the medium - both as an independent art form and as an element of his sculptural practice. Serra's innovative ideas radically transformed the traditional understanding of drawing as two - dimensional representation on paper, expanding the practice through novel techniques, unusual media, monumental scale, and carefully constructed relationships of space.

Grandifloras

I love it. While walking along Soho, I noticed these stunning fresh flowers and produce. Each time I visit New York City - Dean & Deluca is always on my mind. ( I can't help it ). I totally support this awesome laid back atmosphere,  friendly staff,  deliciously fresh sandwiches, and beautiful fresh cut flowers. The awe cannot be denied.
