I can’t speak for the artist but I find these places quite drab because of the material choice and color. Grey/white marble, satin paint, light flooring, etc all make it dull to me. The problem I see though is to sell a unit at that those asking prices it’s not Home Depot marble or $2/f flooring it’s the crap Davis was sculpted from or whatever. That’s cool and all but yawn…
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> material choice and color If you’re buying a $70mm apartment and living in it, you’re renovating it before moving in.
- LimaBearz 5y agoYou’d think right?! So why the hell is the same marble used to craft David already in the unit? Why spend so much on finishings if it’s just gonna be redone. That’s part of the 70 million. Feels like rentseeking and waste to me

But it’s not rent seeking [1]. If it makes you feel better, there is a healthy secondary market in New York for these materials.
