New York Interiors
Dr. Angelika Taschen (ED) & Peter Webster
Inside the world's most energetic melting pot. It has been
over ten years since TASCHEN's original New York Interiors
was published and while much has changed in the Big
Apple since then, the city is still bristling with an eclectic
mix of movers and shakers - a fact that is quite perfectly
reflected in its interiors. This collection of interiors explores
an array of homes as dizzying as the diversity of the New
Yorkers themselves. Peek into the apartments of artist
Terence Koh, musician Rufus Wainwright, and actress
Julianne Moore, among others, to get an idea of the
marvelous ways New Yorkers love to live.
