This Manhattan residence features a striking combination of the owner's extensive – and sometimes challenging – contemporary art collection with an interior design more traditional than the austere modernism for which DBPA has become known. Works by artists such as Damien Hirst, Yoshitomo Nara, and Adam Helm provide surprises at every turn, especially in light of the rich fabrics, elegant furniture, and grandly scaled rooms. As an alternate to a typical minimalist loft, the apartment's herringbone wood floors, ornate fireplace, and flowing window treatments create a world that is about living with art rather than one merely for exhibiting art. |
