Angelina Jolie signed up lease agreement with Meridian Capital Group where renowned Neoexpressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquiat was staying there.
The final decision was based on daughter Zahara's approval.
Jolie tells Vogue, “The moment they walked through the door, they knew the search was over".
"I can be very impulsive, but Zahara is so grounded, decisive, and thoughtful. When she agreed, I felt we were both decided.”
There are signs that the team is beginning to make its mark: Draped over the doorway is a blank canvas stenciled with the Atelier Jolie logo in white spray paint. “That was my son practicing".
