VANDAL
New York, New York
After entering VANDAL through the OVANDO flower shop and botanical gallery, guests are greeted by the 11-foot tall “Icy Grape,” a lacquered bunny rabbit, custom sculpture by Rockwell Group. The sculpture’s color is a reference to the now discontinued Krylon spray paint color Icy Grape, a shade that remains coveted by the street artist community. The restaurant also boasts pieces by artists HUSH and Shepard Fairey, to name just a few.

Upon entry guests are greeted by an original Andy Warhol silkscreen painting of Cindy Pritzker. Pritzker and her husband, the late Jay Pritzker, commissioned the portrait during a spontaneous trip to New York City in 1982. Today it hangs in the private dining room of the rooftop restaurant and bar, which sits atop the Chicago Athletic Association hotel.
