New York Interiors
TASCHEN's 25th anniversary — Special edition!
It's a classic thing we've all heard: "New York is great to visit, but I wouldn`t want to live there." New Yorkers laugh it off because they know the secret: it's even better when you live there. New York Interiors offers readers the chance to see the Big Apple`s most fabulous pads in all their eccentric splendor. The Hell's Angel who sleeps next to a coffin, the painter who makes art from trash, the woman who's brought Provence to Downtown, the couple who live in the Brooklyn of the 19th century— "typical" New Yorkers` homes are presented alongside those of its glitterati (such as Leo Castelli, Wolfgang Joop, Isabella Rossellini and Steven Spielberg). With beautiful photographs of over 40 homes in and around New York City, this book is bound to convince the nay-sayers that New York really is the place to be—and live.
"These are well-heeled folk, and the inherent elegance and grandeur of the city is revealed in these striking interiors. What would it be like to be a wealthy New Yorker? This book gives you a sneak peek into a rarefied world."

"L’Extravagance. A travers de magnifiques photos, ce livre nous fait découvrir les appartements les plus fabuleux et les plus excentriques de la Grosse Pomme dans toute leur splendeur. L’Ange de la Mort qui dort près de son cercueil, le peintre qui fabrique des œuvres d’art à partir de déchets, la femme qui a importé une touche provençale dans le quartier des affaires (Downtown), etc. Des demeures y sont présentées, à côté de celles d’appartenant aux plus grandes célébrités, telles que Leo Castelli, Wolfgang Joop, Isabella Rossellini et Steven Spielberg. Cet ouvrage devrait permettre de convaincre les plus réfractaires que New York est l’endroit idéal à visiter et à habiter."
