Located within an original 1920 Rosario Candeladesigned building, the apartment unites the artwork with the buildings art deco details. When entering the 3,650-square-foot residence, ample natural light accompanies the eggshell walls and rich black walnut floors. This muted base serves to enhance the impressive collection of art that is strategically displayed throughout the residence using a hanging track within a continuous reveal where the wall meets the ceiling. The collection includes colorful pieces from Georgia OKeeffe, Marsden Hartley, and Stuart Davis, and objects by artists such as Josef Hoffman, John Storrs, and Max Weber, to name a few.Read more about the apartment on the aninteriormag.com.
