THE CORDISH COLLECTION: A Museum Experience in the Comfort of a Hotel

Live! guests can view The Cordish Art Collection, a 40+ piece contemporary art collection from world renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, which was described by The New York Times as an art museum experience in the comfort of a hotel. 

The theme of the collection is FUN, and fun is what entices Live! Casino & Hotel guests to return again and again. This multi-disciplined exhibit of artworks displayed throughout the hotel and casino convey this same sense of playfulness, energy and excitement. The works unify our community of guests with joy, wonder and beauty.

Mrs. Cordish believes art can transform one’s spirit and outlook, and with that conviction in mind she set out to assemble an exhibit for the newly expanded Live! Casino Hotel. Her first find was $(9) : one plate, by Andy Warhol. She procured this screen monoprint in 2015 at an auction in New York. The playful dollar signs against a bright red background offer a nice wink to casino goers, as well as to the brand’s signature red color. The piece is perfect for the setting.

From there she collected other works, juxtaposing local Baltimore artists like Chul-Hyun Ayn with international based sculptors and painters. Though the collection features some of the most important contemporary artists working today, relevance to the art world was not the driving standard behind her selections. 

The conveyance of humor and fun influenced all acquisitions so that together they would represent the Cordish family’s inherent energy and happiness.

An art history major, Mrs. Cordish hopes that patrons will share in the joy of her collection. Nothing means more to the Cordish Family than surprising and delighting their guests.
