Love American Style - The Decorating Episode!

This wonderful book was published in 1975 and I find myself often flicking through its slightly yellowing pages.

I get so inspired when I see some of these interiors that feature incredible museum quality 20th Century iconic art, like the pics from the Scull Pop Art Collection and the interior by
  Billy Baldwin which features works by Jackson Pollock, Kenneth Nolan,
 and Helen Frankenthaler!

By the way this apartment was owned by S.I Newhouse Jnr, media tycoon and Chairman of Conde Nast!

Wow! Oh for the privilege of working an interior around such modern masterpieces!

Please enjoy the following images from "Decorating American Style" by Jose Wilson
and Arthur Leaman!
