Around 400 works have been installed in the New York Presbyterian hospital’s David H. Koch Center in one of the most extensive public art displays ever seen in the city. Pieces by artists such as Beatriz Milhazes and Sarah Crowner are displayed in the medical centre’s corridors, waiting rooms and examination suites. All of the works were bought for the hospital’s permanent holdings. “It’s probably the first hospital in New York with a collection so integrated into the design,” a spokeswoman for the project says. Alissa Friedman and David Fierman of New York’s Salon 94 gallery advised on the initiative.
