– its vast collection from internationally known artists and its dedication to getting guests to pay attention to art had the effect of red paint splashed across a white canvas. Locals and tourists alike took notice.

Flory travels “a lot,” and she looks first for lodgings that offer a combination of art and architecture, and then at their amenities and restaurants. She’s stayed in some notable spots: “The King George in Athens, with its amazing view of the Acropolis,” for instance, which she says is “not only gorgeous in design, but also has a crazy good collection of Greek art and rotating exhibits.”
She also would recommend rotating what’s on display at any one time, or at the very least offering a combination of signature works that are always out while others can be switched around. At the DAM, for example, “We have some pieces that are icons that you can count on seeing, but then we have others that are less known and interesting, maybe from a really well-known artist, but they’re not always on view,” she says.
