Many want to see Manhattan from above, but very few can do it from their own living room. Andi Schmied’s ‘Private Views’ will satisfy that incessant curiosity about an elite, hidden world we can only observe from the outside. Posing as an apartment-hunting Hungarian billionaire named Gabriella, she accessed and documented Manhattan’s most exclusive high-rise properties, from Trump World Tower and One Madison to the Ritz-Carlton Central Park and the Woolworth Building. The book showcases the surreal strategies of persuasion used by real estate agents, features samples of the world’s most luxurious materials, and is complemented by essays from twelve authors.
