A.D.100 GREAT SAMUEL BOTERO AND PICTUS HAVE A LONG, WILD HISTORY. WE’VE DONE SOME OF NYC’s TOP RESTAURANTS AND RESIDENCES, AND MANY CLIENTS HAVE SECOND HOMES- THIS IS ‘BULL HILL FARM’, THE ESTATE OF OUR CLIENTS FROM PARK AVENUE. PICTUS DID THE ENTIRE PLACE- FROM THE MILKPAINT WALLS TO MANY ODD VENETIAN PLASTER TECHNIQUES- MUCH PAINT, EVEN A FEW FAUX ‘RUGS’ LIKE THE ABOVE, AND THE CEILINGS, WHICH WERE MADE IN THE TECHNIQUES AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE BUILDINGS’ CREATION- USING ASH, MILK, CALCIUM- WE KEPT IT IN THE VERNACULAR MOST SUITED TO ITS ANCIENT ORIGINS. WE EVEN DID A BAR WITH OLD WOODCUTS MADE INTO SILKSCREENS, AND LOTS OF NAIVE WOODWORK…I HOPE TO FIND SHOTS OF THE MANY OTHER SPACE IN THIS MAGNIFICENT DWELING………
