A Manhattan art installation we recently did was just featured in the latest issue of New York Spaces magazine! It’s alway an exciting thing for us to see our work in print.
This particular job, which we did in conjunction with designer David Scott, was a lot of fun, but it also required a lot of patience, caution and problem solving. Though we’ve been installing art for more than two decades, we still occasionally come across a work of art that throws us for a loop. In this case, the loop was quite literal.
Among the art we installed in the home was a piece by Jesus Rafael Soto, the Venezuelan kinetic artist and sculptor. He’s known for examining movement, vibration and sound in his work by using tubes made of aluminum and other materials. The challenge presented when installing these pieces (like the one shown below) is that they can get tangled very, very easily, so extreme diligence is required to preserve the art in its original form.

Besides the Soto, the rest of the art in the home was straightforward. The final result was intimate, layered, tasteful and personal. Here are a few photos of the rest of the home from the article.
