The Hungarian artist Andi Schmied, 34, is bringing out an illustrated book in January that shouldn’t actually exist. It’s called “Private Views” and was created where only the super-rich are actually allowed to go: on the top floors of Manhattan’s new, ultra-high skyscrapers, which house luxury apartments. Schmied photographed what multimillionaires see from their whirlpool. She got her way up there with tricks reminiscent of crook comedies like Spielberg’s “Catch Me If You Can” starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
