My relationship with gallery walls—often called French hangs—has been a rollercoaster. When executed with care, they can be breathtaking. Yet as the trend exploded, I encountered far too many clusters of tiny, dull, and poorly chosen pieces slapped together. I walked away from the fad, championing oversized, attention-grabbing artworks instead. Bigger is better, I insisted. Then I stumbled upon this space, and everything changed. It's a gallery wall done impeccably, and suddenly I was eyeing my own mishmash of art, reaching for a hammer and nails, and plotting—yes, plotting—my own take. The genius here extends beyond the art arrangement in this apartment at 20 Street, designed by New York–based, Australian-born Tali Roth. I'm equally captivated by the interplay of accessories, lighting, textiles, paint, and texture.
