3ELEVEN
3Eleven, a residential building in Hudson Yards, draws on a lesser-known chapter of West Side history. Designed by FXCollaborative, the building takes cues from the neighborhood's industrial past, with pitted-concrete columns and LED rope-lights in the lobby that reference the cowboys who once rode ahead of freight trains along 10th Avenue.
Our art advisors curated original works for the building's 60,000 square feet of amenity spaces, selecting artists whose practices speak to the architecture's material honesty - Dan Covert's geometric mural animates the lobby stairwell, while Vicki Sher's painted-aluminum sculpture introduces color against the concrete. In the sky lounge, a mosaic reinterpretation of Kristin Texeira's painting grounds the room, and CHIAOZZA's sculptural work brings warmth to the co-working space.

Covert's large-scale, multi-level mural anchors the lobby stairwell, its geometric forms lending monumental scale without visual weight. The artist mapped out several designs to fit the dimensions of the space, resulting in a work that feels cohesive from the ground up.
I want the shapes that I’m creating to feel very fluid and spontaneous, when in fact they are methodically planned out and painstakingly crafted.

Two large-scale paintings by Aschely Vaughan Cone flank an exposed fireplace in the co-working space, while a custom sculpture by CHIAOZZA brings levity to the room.
We are interested in the idea of Play as a collaborative tool; as a way to shake things up, shift your perspective on reality.

Next to the rooftop pool, a custom Murmurations installation by Christina Watka, consisting of hundreds of pieces of hand-shaped porcelain, climbs the walls of the lounge.
The 42nd-floor sky lounge features a mosaic reinterpretation of With Autumn Closing In, an oil on paper by painter Kristin Texeira.
In the pool corridor, aerial photographs by Brooke Holm capture water from above, their stillness a counterpoint to the movement of the Hudson River, which sits next to 3ELEVEN.
In the fitness center, Linda Colletta's painting is printed directly on glass, bringing color and energy to the space.
