Hotel art in Haugesund

Collection
Andy Warhol, Pushwagner, Herbert Thoma
Rica Maritime Hotel Haugesund
any time
art for the joy of hotel visitors

Sometimes art appears at strange places. I was stunned by discovering these works by renowned artists during my visit to Rica Maritime Hotel in Haugesund, as I usually find rather tacky, nostalgic, decorative, promotional or just decorative works in such places. I found a large public mural by Pushwagner, prints by Andy Warhol, and a painting by Herbert Thoma.
