On Park Avenue, a Collection That Could Anchor a Museum Shares the Room With Grandmother's Antiques

· 1 min read

Inside one Park Avenue apartment, walls carry the kind of names most people only see roped off: Basquiat, Warhol, Lichtenstein. Here they hang alongside inherited antiques and scenic wallpaper, with several rooms lacquered in a brilliant blue. The mix reads less like a trophy case than a home built up in layers, where blue-chip painting and old furniture are asked to get along. It is the kind of apartment where the art collection alone could fill a gallery, yet nothing about the rooms feels like one.

With reporting from Veranda.
