The Edward Hopper House Art Center in Nyack, New York—the artist’s birthplace and home through young adulthood, which has been an arts non-profit since 1971—has re-staged Hopper’s bedroom in period style with the help of the interior designer Ernest de la Torre and the architect Walter Cain. The room’s natural light in mornings and view of the Hudson River had a major influence on Hopper’s artistic production throughout his life, and early bird visitors might recognise patterns of sunlight from paintings such as Morning Sun (1952). Hopper-philes can also bid to spend a night in the re-staged bedroom in an auction to benefit the centre’s missions to support arts education in local schools and provide student studio space at the Edward Hopper House. The auction is currently open online through the morning of 15 October, and will culminate in a live auction in Nyack later that day. The period re-staging will remain on view through 31 May 2017.
