Says gallery co-owner, Peter Blachley, "Our relationship with The Dream Hotel has seen growth in how we approach our customers and their creative tastes. It makes sense that the Morrison Hotel brand move forward in setting up this relationship based in their beautiful downtown property. Our iconic imagery will fit beautifully on the wall spaces in the hotel creating an authentic and iconic collection both for the hotel and their customers. "

"The Morrison Hotel Gallery is the perfect partner for Dream. After our first partnership with MHG at last year's Art Basel Miami, we collectively decided we wanted to dive deeper into the relationship with a permanent installation in our New York flagship property." Says Brendan McNamara, SVP Brand Development and Brand Director for Dream Hotels. "There is so much life in the photography they showcase that the subjects seemingly jump off of the walls. The scenes play out as dream sequences for all of us that don't live our whole lives in the limelight, and for our clients that do, the art pays homage to their craft."
