Central Station Hotel

 

The Central Station Hotel, a downtown Memphis staple for more than 100 years, connects the city through transportation, art, music, and culture. The space is now home to 48 of Anna’s curated art pieces ranging in medium. They intertwine the history of Memphis with the city around it and tap into the trainline connection between Chicago and New Orleans. Anna’s frequent visits to New Orleans, coupled with a visual analysis of the Chicago art scene, allowed for a cohesive introduction of cohesively edgy, thought-provoking, energetic and layered artwork. The collection transcends time, similar to the space itself, honoring work from emerging, established, old and new artists. A stroll through Central Station Hotel is an invitation into the soulful history of Memphis.

Even before there were walls in this restaurant, Anna knew a pair of large-scale paintings should fill the space. Her vision, an adaptation of Albrecht Durer’s ‘Praying Hands,’ came to life in a horizontal, colorful way, manipulating the medium and visualizing it differently in the given space.

This national law firm uses their interior decor to reflect the region of each office. This space is, therefore, full of Memphis-based artists. The curated artwork introduces a different element, such as an abstract painting energizing the boardroom or a calming, inviting landscape welcoming visitors into the lobby. For the community area, Anna commissioned a three dimensional sculpture using previous client’s yearly reviews and other printed material, specific to Bass Berry Sims.
