Design editor Wendy Goodman takes you inside the city’s most exciting homes and design studios. [Design Hunting]( A visual diary by Design Editor Wendy Goodman great rooms [Having a Ball Living in a Former Ballroom]( Jack Shainman and Carlos Vega’s apartment had to have space for “big art.” Photo: Jason Schmidt “It was dreary. I mean really dreary,” gallerist Jack Shainman says of the loft, which occupies part of what was once a ballroom in an 1872 building near Madison Square that he and his artist-husband Carlos Vega bought a decade ago. The apartment hadn’t been inhabited for years and was filled with unclaimed furniture scattered around the dark musty space that retained the trimmings of ’80s living: gold-painted tin ceilings and pipes, ruddy natural brick walls, and, in one corner, a narrow spiral staircase that led to the loft with a nasty brown hot tub in the primary bedroom. Today, after a renovation, the gleaming space is not only their home but also a personal gallery to Shainman and Vega’s rotating art collection, which at the time of my visit included Emanoel Araujo’s Relevo, a monumental wall sculpture of polychrome wood, and, on another wall, El Anatsui’s Obscured Narrative, a tapestry composed of aluminum and copper wire that hangs opposite a 16th-century work, The Virgin and Child With Saint Anne, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint Sebastian. There’s Donald Judd furniture in the living room along with Arturo Hererra’s felt One Time (Orange) placed between the windows. This fall, Shainman will open his latest gallery space to the public on the corner of Leonard Street and Broadway with a show of Nick Cave’s work. — Wendy Goodman [TAKE A TOUR]( Want more on design, real estate, and city life?
