Stuart Parr is a man who does not believe in definitions and certainly does not follow any set of occupational rules. In the past few decades he has been an interior architect, Eminem’s film producer, Mark Newson’s manager and the owner of the trademark for the legendary collections of Jean-Michel Frank. His most visible projects have been co-producing 8 Mile and Get Rich or Die Tryin and designing the Marble House Tribeca, a 10,000 square foot townhouse with a 40 foot pool set in a room wrapped entirely in Carrara marble.
His latest endeavor is truly a passion play. He worked with the famed NYC real estate developer and art collector, Aby Rosen, and self produced an exhibit from his personal Italian motorcycle collection. The show “Art of The Italian Two Wheel,” opens this month at the newly designed 285 Madison Ave (at 40th Street) and features 26 bikes including classics from Ducati, Laverda and MV Agusta.
