This time Schrager is selling a completely different look, one he calls the antithesis of hip. The sleek modernism he pioneered with French designer Philippe Starck has been replaced by an opulent interior designed by the artist Julian Schnabel. The idea is to create a space that looks like an artist's studio. Instead of three-legged stools and linoleum floors, there are deep velvet sofas, stuccoed walls and Giacometti-style cast-bronze doorknobs...
...eventually enrolled at the USC architecture school. There he somehow managed to fail a basic course. In his early years he says he was more drawn to the company of the painters and sculptors leading the vibrant LA artistic scene than to his young architectural peers. Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel , even his psychiatrist, Milton Wexler, make appearances in what might be called supportive roles in the film, as do clients and other admirers, most of whom manage to stay shy of sycophancy. The film also offers a very handsomely shot portfolio of Gehry buildings, but spares...
...that? As a rule, art grabs the popular imagination in either of two ways. One is to offer crescendos of feeling, real or simulated. That explains the long lines for any show billed "Van Gogh" or "Pollock."

Today she still has a thriving business at two locations in Manhattan. And as she sees it now, she did not so much create the new realities of the '80s market as respond to them. "Because of the Wall Street boom, the collector...
...Schnabel began to pour more of his energies into filmmaking, which turned out to be a better place for them than painting. In 1996 he directed Basquiat, about you-know-who, with its peerlessly funny impersonation of Andy Warhol by David Bowie. Before Night Falls,made four years later, brought an Oscar nomination for Best Actor to Javier Bardem, who played Reinaldo Arenas, an AIDS-stricken Cuban writer who committed suicide in New York City in 1990. Even before Schnabel began directing, Longo directed a film, Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves in a futuristic film noir. So did David Salle...
