Hardback, Cloth, Perfect binding. 228 p. "All of us want to see Manhattan from above, but very few can do it from their own living room. Private Views is here to satisfy our incessant curiosity about a hidden elite world that we can only observe from outside, or occasionally, from an overpriced viewing point crowded with tourists. While posing as an apartment-hunting Hungarian billionaire, Andi Schmied accessed and documented Manhattan's most exclusive high-rise properties. For the duration of the project, she inhabited a fictional persona: Gabriella, a mother of one whose husband is an antique dealer. Dressing as Gabriella and acting as Gabriella, she prepared for the family's upcoming move to Manhattan by searching through listings of premium real estate agencies and requesting to view some of their most splendid properties. The book guides its readers through the sunset from Trump World Tower and dawn over Central Park from the private ballroom of the tallest residential tower on Earth, showcasing samples of the world's most luxurious materials, such as the Calacatta Tucci marble used in bathrooms overlooking the Empire State Building.'' Texts: Sara Emilia Bernat, f-architecture, Irena Lehkoivová, Ava Lynam, Peter Noever, Andi Schmied, Jack Self, Michael Sorkin, Samuel Stein, Barbora pi?áková, Anthony Vidler, Sharon Zukin.

Very good. Minor margin toning. Professionally executed repair from top margin just left of center extending 6 inches into the page. Size 29 x 39.75 Inches. This is a gorgeous c. 1854 John Bornet panoramic bird's-eye view of the city on the cusp of its monumental expansion northwards in the second half of the 19th century. Among other points of interest, this is the only view we are aware of to show the buildings of Seneca Village, New York City's first African American community, in what is today Central Park. A Closer Look The view looks east over Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn from a high point to the west of Hoboken, New Jersey. Bornet purports to have drawn the view 'from nature', likely from Bergen Hill, New Jersey, a popular high point also used by other viewmakers. It contrasts a rural and pastoral foreground with the bustling metropolis of New York City, which itself fades to green north of today's 42nd street. Bornet plays with exaggerated vertical contrast to highlight New York's soaring church steeples, as well as the Latting Observatory (then the tallest building in New York) and New York Crystal Palace in modern-day Bryant Park, both constructed for the 1853 Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations. Ships of both sail and steam fill the lower Hudson River and New York Harbor and trains steam in and out of Hoboken - lending vibrance and motion to the image. Further north, in what would soon become Central Park, the Croton Receiving Reservoir, today's Great Lawn, is evident as are the buildings of Seneca Village. Delight in Contrast Unlike most views of its time, the present view seems to delight in contrast, setting the pastoral foreground against the urban center, and the work of poor farmers next to sprawling gentlemanly estates, and residential communities against factories billowing smoke. Like all Bornet's city views, this one has a curved upper border, adding dynamism to the overall image. The border work doubles as a frame for labeling important buildings and sites. Seneca Village Although very tiny, this is one of the few, if not the only, contemporary view to include Seneca Village prior to its seizure and demolishment in anticipation of the construction of Central Park. Seneca Village was located in today's Central Park just west of the Great Lawn, roughly between 82nd and 86th streets. The villagers primarily consisted of free people of color and poor Irish-American immigrants. Although the excoriating literature of the time describes Seneca Villagers as vagabonds and squatters, most of the properties were legally transacted and owned by the residents. By 1855, within a year of this view's publication, the lands were seized by the Central Park Commission, and Seneca Village was leveled to make way for Central Park. While the residents of Seneca Village were hardly the only community pushed out for the park, they were perhaps the most powerless and marginalized. Publication History and Census This view is based on a painting by John Bornet. It was engraved and printed by the German-American lithographing firm of 'Nagel and Weingärtner' for 'Goupil and Company', a prestigious print and art gallery located at 366 Broadway. Examples are scarce. We are aware of 3 in private hands, in addition to one at the New York Public Library, and another at the Museum of the City of New York.
