A Mexico-Born Sculptor Turns Madison Avenue Storefronts Into Portraits of New York Living

· 1 min read
The American Set on film — also on Instagram.

Raul De Lara, who left Mexico for New York, has filled the window cases of a Madison Avenue flagship with carved wood and stone forms drawn from the city's apartments and townhouses. The display reads less like retail dressing than a small, careful study of how New Yorkers actually live at home.

With reporting from Galerie.
