Love coming home to world-class art? Then ditch the art gallery and buy a condo instead! No, we’re not talking about the cheap, poster copy of Monet’s Water Lilies or Warhol’s Monroe kind of art. It’s the serious, custom-made, Art Basel kind of art. The kind of art that makes it to most people’s wishlist. These high-end condos have already welcomed such art into their backyard (a.k.a. garden, lobby, social room).
