Each project comes with its own unique challenges and solutions. Shown here are some interesting projects, their challenges and the eventual solution.
   
 

 

 

 

Advest
Challenge: To create a bold focal point in a potentially drab reception area.

Solution: We located a painting that is initially striking, yet flows well with the overall space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bank Julius Baer
Challenge: A need to unify two floors.

Solution: A floor to ceiling sculpture was commissioned to fill an empty stairwell that spans both floors.


 

 

 

 

 


Cosmair
Challenge: A busy cafeteria area open to the public is enclosed by glass with bare walls. Artwork was needed to put order into the usual chaos that occurred during lunch hours.

Solution: Evenly spaced black and white photographs neutralized and provided a level of calm for this space.

 

 




Deerfield Management
Challenge: To amass a collection of artwork over a period of time that reflects the philosophy of a “personal, one-on-one” approach with their clients and creates a comfortable atmosphere in which their clients and staff would feel “at home” in their office.

Solution: We achieved this by creating a collection of warm, sophisticated original artwork for the common areas and private offices.

 

 

 


Deutsche Verkehrs Bank
Challenge: The New York branch of this bank requested art to represent their specialty of airline financing.

Solution: Placement of a painting in a high-profile location suggesting the atmosphere of the skies.

Eisner and Lubin
Challenge: The fruitwood paneled walls presented a unique challenge. Our client valued the newly installed walls, and wanted artwork to complement them rather than compete with them.

Solution: Black and white photographs of New York City in simple ebony stained walnut frames provides a strong, yet neutral contrast to the walls.

 


 


 

Galen Associates
Challenge: To find a theme for a richly designed space.

Solution: The reception area artwork of Grand Central Station from above with people milling about set the tone (the client is located just above Grand Central Station). The other works selected throughout were closely aligned with this abstract/representational theme.

 

 

 

 

Merrill Lynch (Met Life Building)
Challenge: The Branch Manager wanted to evoke the financial presence and strength of “Wall Street” in their midtown office.

Solution: A photo-etching commission depicting the downtown financial district achieved this in their main reception area.

 

 



Merrill Lynch (Citicorp Center)
Challenge: The main floor was composed of two opposing preferences in artwork. In one area were senior advisors who wanted a more traditional feel to their space and two other sides had younger brokers who wanted a more modern feeling.

Solution: The reception area starts with modern abstract artwork. As you walk around the office through the side that is mostly conference and meeting rooms, the art becomes more and more traditional, with a transition of abstract landscapes to traditional landscapes.

 


 

Natsource
Challenge: Natsource advises on environmental and weather predictions for the energy markets. Artwork was needed that tied these factors into the design of the space.

Solution: Paintings that give the feel of the changing weather.

 


 

SBLI (Savings Bank Life Insurance)
Challenge: A large, mostly open space with many uses varying from customer service to executive offices.

Solution: Overall, we felt there was a need to add color and life into the drab space. Each department and area was then separated by themes of artwork. The reception area has colorful landscapes expressing open space and calm, the boardroom has color photographs of trees depicting solidity and strength, and the customer service area has fine art reproductions expressing activity and energy.

 




UPM Kymmene
Challenge: Being one of the largest paper manufacturers in the world, this company wanted to stress their concern with the environment.

Solution: Color photography of nature by a renowned photographer that represents the company’s philosophy.
