James Rosenquist at Restaurant Daniel

Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Boulud announces the installation of nine paintings and works on paper by celebrated American artist, James Rosenquist, at the revered New York City establishment and Upper East Side icon. This exciting installation is curated by art advisor Janis Gardner Cecil in collaboration with the Estate of James Rosenquist and Kasmin Gallery, NY, along with loans from generous private collectors.

“The first time I met James was in 1993 when I hosted an event for all the greatest living artists in New York at Restaurant DANIEL. From then on, we remained friends. He was very Scandinavian and I always related to his strong charisma having lived in Denmark for a time. He was a wonderfully funny man who loved to tell stories. His mind was always wondering with ideas and it was always a joy to be around him,” said Chef Daniel Boulud. “I am lucky to have known him and honored to bring his paintings into the dining room at Restaurant DANIEL. As one of the founders of the pop art movement, his work will bring a lively energy that will spark conversation and be a new cultural addition to our guests’ experience.”
