Artwork at Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Singapore

Another must visit place in Singapore is the Artwork in Ritz-Carlton Millenia Hotel which houses 4,200 pieces of art including the artwork of the very popular Andy Warhol. Ritz-Carlton Millenia is surely not your typical hotel where you find luxury in relaxation, but it is also a place where you can see spectacular art gallery. I was really excited about this visit because this will be the first time that I’m gonna see real artwork of the world’s big art names that I can only see on TV or hear in the news.

 

It was said that The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore invested about US$4,000,000 for all displayed artwork in the entire hotel with fifty of it counts as museum quality. Let’s take a look!

 

This will greet you on the main entrance. This is Zhu Wei’s Mao Figures, life size sculptures in fiberglass.

Another one from Frank Stella. It is called Moby Dick series, around 4 metres high. A pair of wall reliefs with print treatment, fiberglass and metals.

And finally, Poppy by Andy Warhol. Poppy is a brightly colored print from Warhol’s flower series, which dates from 1964. Only 250 pieces are available in the world, of which 2 are displayed in The Ritz-Carlton Millenia.

This is an obligatory shot with 2 Warhol paintings. It’s surreal!
