New York Living Rooms, Dominique Nabokov

New York Living Rooms is the first instalment in Dominique Nabokov’s holy trinity of interior photography works, re-issued by Apartamento Publishing more than two decades after it was first published in 1998. Originally commissioned as a photo essay for the New Yorker in 1995, it offers a frank and intimate study of the interior living spaces of some of the city’s most fabled cultural figures, including Susan Sontag, Norman Mailer, Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Allen Ginsberg, and Joan Didion.

With nothing added and nothing altered, Nabokov calls these images her interior ‘portraits’. Some spaces are indulgent and ostentatious, others shelter the bare necessities, but Nabokov simply records them all for her fellow voyeurs and leaves us to decipher the rest. Long out of print, this updated edition brings back to life an era of New York City history, seen through Nabokov’s original Polaroid photos and the original introduction by English poet James Fenton. It also sets the stage for the following editions in Paris and Berlin, which Apartamento will be re-issuing later in 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you ship outside the USA?

Yes! If an item is not letting you order it outside of the US - contact the shoppe and I will happily change the settings for you. We recently started shipping outside the US and it is very possible that previous listings have not been edited. International shipping prices will be calculated at purchase and sent via USPS.

What size am I?

With vintage clothing more often than not the marked size is not relevant with current sizing. We do our best to give a sense of the garment's fit based on modern US sizing and the models size. If you have any questions about measurements please contact us directly.

What else should I know?

Able Shoppe consists entirely of vintage or handmade items. Our vintage garments and goods are sourced from consignment and thrift stores and we do our best to chose unique and well made objects. That being said, vintage items are used and inevitably there will be some wear on all pieces. Any major imperfections will be noted to the best of our ability. Additionally, we do not claim ownership of any brands or designers listed. We hope you see the beauty and sustainability in re-contextualizing preloved goods as we do.
