At Home
John and Richard in Union Square
John and Richard have a vast and varied collection of original art, so we were thrilled to take a tour of their Union Square apartment. With a sophisticated fondness for found objects and a self-proclaimed addiction to fine art, John and Richard have collected works by Uprise artists Eric Shaw and Katrine Hildebrandt-Hussey.
Well, I’ve been interested in art for as long as I can remember, but my move to NYC over 17 years ago really introduced me to a lot of contemporary art galleries. I started going to lots of art openings, partially to see the work and partially to partake in all the free food and booze. I was working at Pearl Paint at the time, making very little money, and all those free goodies helped me to survive. Along the way, I discovered great shows that I would later revisit during the daytime and really get a chance to appreciate the work.
