Tom Fruin’s “Maxikiosco,” on view at the 2013 Scope Art Fair in Miami Beach. The piece will be installed on the rooftop of the Wythe Hotel for use as a wedding chapel during Pride Week. |
Peter Lawrence, Tarlow’s business partner, figured the ceremonies would benefit from a structure for attendees to congregate around. He immediately thought of his friend, the artist Tom Fruin, who is known for his sculptures made from reclaimed objects, like his now-iconic stained-glass watertower in Dumbo. Fruin, who also created the Wythe’s sculptural “Hotel” marquee from salvaged tin signage, had just completed a stained-glass house, titled “Maxikiosko,” that struck Lawrence for its ecclesiastic quality.
