The New Yorker Hotel
481 Eighth Avenue
New York, NY 10001
The 43-story New Yorker Hotel was built in 1929 and opened its doors on January 2, 1930. Much like its contemporaries, the Empire State Building (opened in 1931) and the Chrysler Building (opened in 1930), the New Yorker is designed in the Art Deco style that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The building's pyramidal, set-back tower structure largely resembles that of the Empire State Building, which lies just a couple blocks due east on 34th Street.
The New Yorker Hotel is located at the corner of 8th Ave and 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan. It is a fully functioning hotel, featuring spectacular panoramic views of midtown Manhattan from its 39th floor dining lounge. Diners get a sweeping view of landmarks such as the Chrysler Building to the north, the Empire State Building and One Penn Plaza, due east, and lower Manhattan, due south. It is in proximity to Madison Square Garden, Penn Station, Macy's and the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Visitors can come by bus, arriving at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, just a few blocks north on 8th Avenue, or by train, as Penn Station is across the street.

Step 1 - Find an old pencil sketch of Muhammad Ali that your dad did back in the 70's in your auntie’s kitchen and decide that you want to do your own version of it. Attempt to find the reference photograph that he must have used but fail. It turns out Ali has been photographed thousands of times over the years and the internet is not particularly helpful when you can’t be very specific. No problem. You’ll just have to make the detail up yourself.

Lately I've been really interested in Muhammad Ali as a cultural figure in his era (in relation to the current political climate I keep thinking of his famous quote: "I Ain't Got No Quarrel With The VietCong...No VietCong Ever Called Me Nigger") so I wanted to get these, plus both covers were Art Directed by the legendary George Lois.
The four lions were ordered in 1871, to stand guard around the statue of Muhammad 'Ali in Alexandria, but instead were installed at the ends of the al-Gezira Bridge (1872). While the new bridge was being constructed, they were moved to the zoo. When the bridge was completed, the lions were relocated and King Fuad I inaugurated the new bridge, naming it after his father, the Khedive Ismail Bridge.

Situated on the summit of the citadel, this Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo. The mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816.

The Rematch is a 2022 “hijacked” canvas in which Mr. Brainwash paints a modern pop-culture scene directly onto a vintage 19th-century genre painting. The foreground reproduces Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston, drawn from Neil Leifer’s iconic photograph of their May 25, 1965 rematch in Lewiston, Maine—the moment immediately after the disputed “Phantom Punch.” Behind them, a quiet European village scene populated by women at a well remains largely indifferent.
Mr. Brainwash Art Museum opened in December 2022 in Beverly Hills and is dedicated to the work of French-born, Los Angeles–based street artist Thierry Guetta, known professionally as Mr. Brainwash. Located in the former Paley Center for Media building at 465 North Beverly Drive, designed by Richard Meier, the museum has been transformed into a large-scale, immersive exhibition space presenting graffiti-inflected paintings, pop-culture mashups, oversized sculptures, neon text, and murals from the artist first introduced to a wider audience through Banksy’s 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop.
