The Most Beautiful Penthouse in New York? And More!

It might be the one that John Pigozzi put on the market in June this year at Hotel des Artistes.

the 5,377-square-foot apartment spans three floors and has three bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, 19-foot ceilings (and 15-foot windows with views of Central Park), a solarium and an 827-square-foot private terrace off the master bedroom.

Pigozzi, as you might imagine, is quite a character. He has the world’s largest collection of African art. He also has a peculiar habit. Long before it became fashionable, Pigozzi developed the routine of taking selfies with celebrities.

… over the next four decades, he took hundreds … with …  famous actors and actresses, artists and art dealers, filmmakers, fashion designers, writers, rock stars, superagents, athletes, royals, models, moguls, publicists, journalists, comedians, scene-sters, gadflies, and miscellaneous personalities who defined international celebrity and social life in the late 20th and early 21st centuries—as well as his barber, a Turkish belly dancer, a busload of Japanese tourists, Andy Warhol’s stuffed dog, an Oscar, and a B.L.T.

Here is my fav, of Jerry Hall, Pigozzi and Mick, who is looking rather stoned

Pigoozi is now coming out with a book that tracks this – Me + Co: The Selfies, 2972 – 2017. Vanity Fair has the eccentric but humorous sotry.

Enjoy!
