‘A Brush with Art’ is a furthering of the hotel’s original art agenda which saw 45 Park Lane open its doors in September 2011 to showcase a spectacular gallery of art created by some of Britain’s leading contemporary artists, and provide contemporary art lovers access to a series of exclusive art events. Rooms and suites on each floor at 45 Park Lane feature art by Sir Peter Blake, Damien Hirst, Joe Tilson, and Bill Wyman as well as the afore mentioned artists.
In May this year, Jane McAdam Freud, daughter of Lucian, hosted Friday breakfasts at CUT at 45 Park Lane before a private guided tour of ‘Lucian Freud: Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery’. Recently 45 Park Lane also announced its support for the Wells Art Contemporary Exhibition’s inaugural Art Prize and Open Exhibition.
Dorchester Collection sets a precedent in hospitality for its connection with the art world; Parisian Palace hotel Le Meurice is now in its fifth year of organising the Meurice Prize for Contemporary Art, an international endowment for young French artists.
