Interior: This slide show offers an intimate view of the artist's domicile where she has spent most of her life creating and redecorating. The apartment has served the artist as her studio, office, and living accommodations since 1974. Her most known photographs, including the Ruins series and the historical New York Times Magazine cover were shot here. Included in this presentation are before & after pictures depicting the original layout and various stages of evolution and de-construction which Matuschka's describes as "the ultimate recycling challenge: from ruins and renovation to rejuvenation and relaxation!" All the work on this former Victorian apartment was designed and executed by Matuschka & Company.
