The venerable Gramercy Park Hotel, a long standing hub for the New York art, culture and fashion scene, is offering the ultimate Frieze experience. Thanks to the vision of iconic artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, this unique luxury property boasts one of the best collections of contemporary in the United States. It seems natural then that Gramercy Park Hotel should partner with the American edition of the annual London Frieze Art Fair, debuting this spring. For 3 days, from May 4 - 7, New Yorkers and art lovers from the world over will be privy to the works of over 170 progressive international art galleries at Randall's Island in Manhattan's East River...

For those lucky ones visiting the hotel during this period, the "show" begins the moment they step inside. Known for its prized displays, pieces by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Fernando Botero find pride of place in public spaces. As an offshoot to the fair, Gramercy Park Hotel will unveil a new installation throughout the hotel. Among the highlights are "Hand" by Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol located in Jade Bar, and two pieces by Richard Prince - "Untitled" from the Re-photographed series and "Untitled" (Oh) 2010. Wouldn't you love to take advantage of private tours on offer? But the best part is the exclusive access to the Frieze Art Fair Private Viewing on May 3...Well, if I must add...Great News!
