Some call Harlem's Kalahari the ugliest new building in New York, but the developers are trying extra hard to make it pretty on the inside: "The Kalahari's collection, assembled by curator Cheryl Riley with a budget of some $500,000, is a far cry from the cookie-cutter landscape paintings that were once ubiquitous in the lobbies of New York apartment buildings. Custom-curated art collections have begun appearing recently in residential high-rises, as condominiums seek to stand out from the pack of amenity-laden developments sprouting up all over the city."
