I would donate an organ for that Picasso. Also check out the Gramercy Park Hotel's interior which he designed - the same color, impact, luxury and warmth. I like. http://www.gramercyparkhotel.com/

it's a fake Picasso...

I'm billy would only give an organ for the real one :P

It looks like some cheap gingerbread tacked onto a typical crumbling, worn industrial NY building. And as for the interior... why isn't there a Scarface poster hanging over the mantel?

However, it's actually a great color when you see it in the afternoon light.

I've seen them.....and they are pretty freaking amazing. Seriously.
