Gordon Matta-Clark Conical Intersect (detail) 1975

 

56TH STREET & 6TH AVENUE -- 2007

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Midtown mixed use hotel / Gallery building framed by an original Warren & Wetmore structure from 1913.
Located adjacent to the south end of central park on 6th Ave and 56th Street the cube hotel has a strong relationship with the Frank Lloyd Wright Guggenheim museum (1956-59) on the Upper East Side in both form and function.
By exploring the gallery through its volume as a “container” for the interaction with public art both the FLW’s cylindrical form and the new Cube Hotel creates a strong relationship with New York.
