enver's new The Art hotel on Tuesday proved it will live up to its name, unveiling a list of art-world stars — living, dead, local and international — whose work will decorate its public spaces.

Names include legends, such as the late, 20th-century icon Sol LeWitt, whose brilliant red, yellow and blue "Wall Drawing #397," from 1983, will fill a wall that greets visitors entering from the street.

There are also upcoming notables, including Leo Villareal, best known for a piece called "The Bay Lights," which illuminated the San Francisco Bay Bridge for two years ending in March. For the ceiling of the outdoor portico, Villareal will create a piece made of thousands of lights programmed to flash in patterns.
