Co-op of the Day: 22 8th Avenue Duplex
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. This duplex at 22 8th Avenue in Park Slope, which combines the parlor and garden floors of the massive brownstone, just hit the market with an asking price of $2,200,000. The price tag seems lofty for just part of a house, but this unit is 3,000-square-feet large (plus it has another 1,500 square feet…
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. This duplex at 22 8th Avenue in Park Slope, which combines the parlor and garden floors of the massive brownstone, just hit the market with an asking price of $2,200,000. The price tag seems lofty for just part of a house, but this unit is 3,000-square-feet large (plus it has another 1,500 square feet of basement space and a small deck and full garden rights). And, obviously, the scale of historic quality of the architecture are stunning. So, do they have a shot?

Aw, that’s not fair. I didn’t even know what the DWR catalog was. I’m a painter; it’s my life. I love seeing unexpected choices. I just don’t think this one works.
The painting looks fine. Face it, for most of you, if it isn’t in the DWR catalog, it’s not tasteful. I’ve just learned to accept this.
normally, an opinion on any art would be just that, an artistic difference in opinion (and im highly involved in art by the way) clearly in this case there is a racial hypersensitivity. read the book about intellectual/emotional intelligence, it’ll do you good. the racists are outed here. i’m done.
To me, the problem with the painting is not the painting; it’s the painting in that room, or probably any room in this apt. People joke about art needing to “match the couch.” Well, it does have to work with the architecture and the decor, otherwise both suffer as they do in this case.
Oh, I see. I still think that the person (Dave), was prompted by it, when he wanted an explanation of “white bread” when everyone knows that it means plain, tasteless, and boring. Call me crazy.
Superstooper–It doesn’t have anything to do with the painting. Check goldie’s post record. Nastiness seems to follow her. She seems to be a bad influence on Dave as well.
I just can’t imagine that this nastiness would be happening had the painting been something else. It is by Kehinde Wiley and it’s breathtaking.

It does seem a little sad that by just having a painting of a black man. . .
Not surprising.
yeah, i am a racist! finally, a black woman with power over white racist! this day is truly beautiful. we have a black president and first lady too! yahoo, life is good and guess what, i am far from stupid, but you two obviously are. btw, dave why do you live in bed stuy? did you realize that your neighbors are BLACK. scary right?
