But there are so few ways for artists to earn a decent income stream - so I'm all for it. And besides, the art in most of the chain hotels is average to say the least. This would be a big improvement.brismodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169335258762403261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-63294875511232403222010-03-11T05:03:54.109+11:002010-03-11T05:03:54.109+11:00Dear Jane,

I just don't want 'the unmade bed' by Tracey Emin to be the room allocated to me when I book in !!!! haha.

I'm instinctively all for it - I don't like elitism in art and am happy that high-brow (for which often read 'expensive' art) should be made mass market compatible in this way. I don't think it takes away at all from the artistry of the artist. Could we have opera-themed elevators next?Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-22607793486582060032010-03-10T13:51:20.986+11:002010-03-10T13:51:20.986+11:00I hate to remark without giving this concept of ar...I hate to remark without giving this concept of art hotels more thought. I think you gave two great arguments to both side of this deal. I can say that the architecture for the Olsen by Rothe Lowman is incredible. How magnificent that this firm designed the extension to your home. I'd be thrilled! Great post Jane. It fuels my love of architecture. <br />Have a terrific Wed. xxDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.com
