Ugo Colombo, Julian Schnabel, and Miami’s Brickell Flatiron Park

Miami’s Brickell Flatiron Park has become the new focus for New York Artist Julian Schnabel. Schnabel is working on an art installation for Brickell Flatiron Park that will serve as public art as well as a sales and design hub for CMC Group’s nearby luxury residential development, Brickell Flatiron.

“The Brickell Flatiron Sales Gallery functions as a livable work of art,” says CMC Group founder Ugo Colombo. “As a longtime collector of Julian’s work, I have always appreciated his commitment to applying his artistic vision and eye to whatever it is he does.”

The small building in the park will double as the Sales & Design Gallery for the forthcoming 64-story tower. The building’s exterior will feature Schnabel’s signature broken ceramic plates. The interior will feature an assortment of Schnabel’s original furniture and artwork. In addition to Schnabel’s contribution to the Sales & Design Gallery, he has been commissioned to design the public spaces and lobby of Brickell Flatiron.

“His art is so different from anything else out there and I believe the commonality of crafting something that stands apart from the masses is where our values in design align, particularly at Brickell Flatiron,” says Ugo Colombo.
