Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis unveils Chelsea Hotel art show

German aristocrat Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis — known variously as the “punk princess” or “Princess TNT” — arrived at the Chelsea Hotel for her art exhibition on the back of leather-loving architect Peter Marino’s Harley-Davidson.

The royal, 54, wore oversize glasses and an American flag helmet. Inside perusing her 60 portraits, including images of Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and Bob Dylan, were guests Jeff Koons, Aby Rosen, Calvin Klein, Jeffrey Deitch and Andres Serrano as well as nightlife gurus André Balazs, Nur Khan and Susanne Bartsch.

The show, “Come On Darling, Don’t Be Mad,” was commissioned by the Chelsea Hotel’s Ed Scheetz and Richard Pandiscio.
