he 360-degree panorama of the
Big Apple's skyline — including
views of the Statue of Liberty
and Hudson and East rivers —
is only one of the impressive features
in this apartment occupying the 78th
and 79th floors of a Tribeca skyscraper.
Transformed by Workshop/APD, the
interior spaces of this Lower Manhattan
home, too, are home to many treasures.
The glamorous couple who owns this
home trusted New York City-based,
Spanish born art advisor Barbara
Cartategui to gather the exceptional
collection of contemporary art that adorns
every room of the duplex, showcasing a
mix of established and emerging artists.
"I really enjoy working on collections
that are a 'blank canvas,'" confesses
Cartategui. "This gives me a chance to
collaborate with the interior designers
and create a very special synergy
between every element (lighting,
furniture, wall finishing, etc.). The art
has to be completely integrated into the
space and environment."
