I would love to have a studio like that! What a dream.

Pffft… How does she afford this in the first place? She’s the most overrated photographer I can think of. Her portraits are just plain boring and emotionless. Especially when you consider all the other photogs that have shot for rolling stone. Am I the only who thinks that?

My point exactly. It would measure it in square meters and then the non metric fluent crowd wouldn’t understand.

Not really a big deal (though it must have been for the broker!) as it took me about five seconds to google. But still. :)

That’s a fair point, but then the building in Berlin wouldn’t list the measurements in sq feet, would it?

True but would you not agree that the article would be better if it included a measurement that people outside of the US might relate to aswell? Think of it this way, if the same building would be located in Berlin instead of NY would you (if you are american that is) not be intrested in the measurements in square feet?

The property next door almost fell down and was seriously compromised because of work she was doing on her place. For many years it was being held up by massive steel i-beams. This cost her a fortune and the current price tag is not nearly the full story on what she paid out compared to the current price tag

Why? It’s an American property listed for sale in the U.S., and in the U.S. all properties are listed with their square footage.

Her financial problems are well publicized. Most sources attribute them to death of her spouse (Susan Sontag), death of her father, death of her mother, poor business management with lousy bookkeeping and expense control, addition of two children, real estate debt entanglement, and involvement with a predatory lender. Her relations with the fine art and gallery market have not been strong and the collector interest in her work is less than you might expect.
