"Steven A. Greenberg's Art Deco Office and Apartment\nAs his impressive collection of Art Deco designs goes up for auction at Christie's we look back at the late financier's lavish Manhattan apartment and office, first published in our November 1988 issue\n\"I am particularly proud of my Jean Dunand collection,\" says Steven A. Greenberg, whose Manhattan apartment and office are filled with Art Deco treasures. \"I have many Dunand vases around, but I never fill them with flowers. It would be redundant to do so.\" In the living room, a Dunand geometric vase with coquille d'oeuf, left, and his gold-leaf lacquered vase, right, flank a circa-1924 \"block\" screen by Eileen Gray. The circa-1923 daybed by \u00C9mile-Jacques Ruhlmann is made of walnut with inlaid strands of silver.\n\"I wanted my apartment to be simple, with no clutter or overloading of objects,\" says Greenberg. A pair of circa-1921 lamps by Ruhlmann, center, stand on a circa-1923 amboyna-and-ivory commode of his design. The two Dunand coquille d'oeuf low tables are juxtaposed with a circa-1928 chair by Pierre Chareau. The hanging light fixture is by Albert Cheuret. All vases are by Dunand.\nA 1924 Jean Dupas watercolor hangs above an Eileen Gray table set with Dunand vases.\n\"My interest in the 1920s was heightened when I moved into my offices atop the RCA Building,\" says Greenberg. A circa-1923 Dominique cabinet stands behind a Ruhlmann desk.\nPortrait of Prince Eristoff, 1925, by Tamara de Lempicka overlooks a Ruhlmann sideboard displaying Lalique and Dunand vases.\n\"The gold-lacquered screen by Dunand, from the late 1920s, is one of a pair that separates the conference area from my office,\" notes Greenberg. The circa-1921 burramboyna-and-ivory daybed is by Ruhlmann."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
