Gallery owner and his husband filled Chelsea apartment with paintings, ceramics and other art
Over more than four decades, Neil Zukerman, a New York gallery owner, and his husband, Tom Shivers, filled their Chelsea loft with paintings, books, ceramics, glassware, figurines, silk flowers and countless other treasures. “We only ever had things in our house that we loved. And if we loved it, we found a place for it,” said Shivers.
But after Zukerman’s death at the age of 81 last year, Shivers decided to sell some of the couple’s extraordinary collection, including 90 works by Leonor Fini, the 20th-century artist famous for her depictions of powerful and erotic women.
