Fifty Photos

The New York Times assembled five of the city's most respected interior designers to choose their favourite photos for a stylish collection - Fifty Photos.
"We asked 5 famous interior designers to choose 10 photographs each from our
archive. Now you have 50 photographs to choose from for your fabulous
habitat."
This is a snap shot of what they came up with . . .

Kelly Wearstler

The installation “Eye of the Storm: Works in Situ by Daniel Buren” under construction at the Guggenheim Museum March 11, 2005.

Laura Kirar
Repairing the Bells of Potsdam, Germany - 1930
Thom Filicia
Reflections in the still water of the St. Lawrence River on a lazy summer's day, St. Margarettes Island, New York, Aug. 7, 1997.

Vicente Wolfe

Isn't this a great idea? You can then buy the prints from the paper and put together a stylish cluster wall of professionally chosen photographs. There are 50 to collect - kind of like baseball cards for grown ups!
