Tiepolo in Brooklyn: Elle Decor Goes Home with Vik Muniz

Speaking of whimsical Brazilians, the January/February issue of Elle Decor takes us into the Brooklyn loft of Vik Muniz and his wife (and fellow artist) Janaina Tschape. Their dwelling is a 6,000-square-foot former garage in Clinton Hill that underwent serial renovations–first by Brenda Bello of Basil Walter Architects and then by Matthias Neumann–to transform it into a swoonworthy light-filled live/work space. Alas, the story is not online, so get thee to a newsstand for a taste of the Munizian mix of Tiepolo, Courbet, Man Ray, Warhol, Chinese scholar’s rocks, a stunner of a Ron Arad chair, and masses of empty burgundy bottles (for a project with Daniel Boulud, assures Muniz).
