DescriptionAn advertisement for La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The advertisement features a color photograph of a white, bearded elderly man standing in front of a large framed painting depicting an Indigenous man wearing regalia. The elderly man is looking to the side and is wearing black glasses, a brown fedora, orange and grey scarves, an orange cardigan, grey slacks, dark brown dress shoes, and a turquoise ring. The man is identified through text which reads “Steve Wimmer Concierge, since 1989.” The painting is identified through text which reads “Gerald Cassidy’s “Santiago” (1922).” Text above the man "Sure we're renovating. And boy are you going to love it. But you can still wander around La Fonda's lobby and mezzanine and see our world class art collection up close." This text is located in a brown text box and is connected to the man with a dotted line. The bottom half of the image features a small photo of the exterior of the La Fonda Hotel at night, the La Fonda Hotel’s logo, and text in a red bar which reads “Re-creating the past. Only better. Coming fall 2013.”On View
