Art: More gallery than hotel

Episode 13 of W Talks: Art with Diana Wierbicki

In this podcast, we look at hotels displaying art and the related issues they face as their lobbies and hallways are looking more like galleries. Our host and art lawyer Diana Wierbicki talks to Robert Williams, the head of our Asia Pacific Hotels & Hospitality team, about how major brands to boutique hotels are transforming their spaces through carefully selected pieces of art & sculptures to create a bespoke experience for today’s traveler. Robert explains the ways hotels are interacting with art and artists, the intersection of hotel brands and fashion, and the degrees of risk involved in displaying art in a public space.
