“Life en Route” Art Installation
For its reopening, and in keeping with its tradition of presenting art of the highest quality, The Peninsula New York has curated a selection of artworks, the “Life en Route” Art Installation. Centering upon the idea of a life en route, these artworks create a feeling of wanderlust and capture cross-cultural impressions. This varied presentation brings together a renowned group of international artists working across a range of media, from photography to silkscreens. At turns humorous, wistful, romantic, meditative and exhilarating, this assemblage of decade-spanning artworks evokes a sentiment particular to travel that often cannot be put into words. Some of the works on display will be available for sale to benefit some of The Peninsula New York’s cultural partners.
Artist in Residence with Peter Riezebos
In addition to the “Life en Route” installation, Dutch artist, Peter Riezebos, will create 4 pieces of artwork for the property upon it’s reopening, which will be hung in different suites and guestrooms, such as the 2,530 sq. ft Fifth Ave. Suite overlooking Fifth Avenue, along with a piece for Salon de Ning, a permanent fixture for all visitors to experience. Each piece will be different and will celebrate life and NYC. And, one of the suites will turn into Peter’s “artist studio” where he will create his masterpieces.

Moon Cake Celebration
