“I remember picking up the phone and telling my friends, ‘I did something crazy — but let’s do it together’”
The Kitchen and Dining Area: The dining table was fashioned from floor joists that had been removed to make the double-height studio downstairs, and the chairs were painted by Kim MacConnel. Owner Izhar Patkin made the standing Venetian-glass floor lamp. The floor-to-ceiling mural is by Scooter LaForge, whose wall paintings appear throughout the sprawling loft.
But his loft’s design can vary from one visit to the next. Patkin’s constantly shape-shifting home studio is an extension of his own work as well as a collaboration with other artists. Some of the first people Patkin worked with, back in the early ’80s, were the downtown gallerist Holly Solomon — who facilitated MoMA’s acquisition of his “Black Paintings” — and Kim MacConnel, whose startlingly bright hand-painted furniture graces Patkin’s labyrinth of rooms.
For the past few years, Patkin has been collaborating with the painter Scooter LaForge on turning the living quarters into a freewheeling painter’s studio of sorts. LaForge is a fan of ancient Grecian amphorae, so he painted figures on a wall that was already the approximate shade of the Bronze Age vessels’ burnished orange.
The Egyptian Wing: This suite of rooms, which includes a sleeping chamber, is painted like an Egyptian tomb. Above LaForge’s painted sarcophagus is a Hebrew inscription explaining that humans are not superior to animals. Patkin bought the bedspread on a trip to India.
