Julianne Moore's West Village Duplex Hangs Louise Bourgeois, Nan Goldin

Julianne Moore's two-bedroom West Village duplex holds work by Louise Bourgeois, Nan Goldin, David Armstrong, Robin Rice and Thomas Struth, as revealed in Architectural Digest's upcoming November issue.

Moore shares the apartment with her husband, film director Bart Freundlich. Unlike the typical Hollywood residence, the duplex sits in a building constructed in the 1920s as a residential hotel, where most units originally served as studios or one-bedroom apartments.

"Because of that, there's a diverse group who live here, lots of young people in small apartments or older people who have been here for years. It's super funky," Moore told Architectural Digest.

What hangs on her walls?

The living room displays Bourgeois's work on paper My Secret Life (2007) alongside Goldin's New York skyline from bridge (1994). The mantelpiece holds bronze pieces by Rogan Gregory, Nancy Pearce and Lisa Eisner, plus a Tiffany & Co. bowl and tin.

Elsewhere in the apartment:

• A photograph of the moon taken by Freundlich in the primary bedroom
• Robin Rice's photograph of a person cycling naked, hung above a ceramic piece by Isabel Rower
• A photograph of a tree by David Armstrong
• A large framed photograph by Thomas Struth that takes up the majority of one wall

Who designed the renovation?

Architectural designer Oliver Freundlich, Moore's brother-in-law, renovated the home to make space for the collection. Moore described the constraints of the prewar space and how they shaped her choices.

"My taste is consistent, though it has evolved. I love modernism. But this apartment is prewar, and you have to address that. It's not tiny, but it's not massive, either, so materials and choices become even more important," she said.

Moore appears on the cover of Architectural Digest's November issue, photographed by Clement Pascal.

Why the building's history matters to her

For Moore, the apartment's appeal lies in its accumulated past rather than its polish.

"It feels very serene here. I wanted a sense of history, of time, of all the people who have lived here before us. We're just passing through. That's the magic of New York City," she said.

The full feature lands in Architectural Digest's November issue, offering readers a room-by-room view of a collection that pairs modernist taste with prewar character.
