The “link” between Minter’s studio and residence is furnished with pieces by Anton Alvarez, Kueng Caputo, and Patricia Urquiola. On the wall are, from left, Kara Walker’s Untitled, 2009, and Kenny Scharf’s Madoil, 2010. The jumble of boxes, designed by the architect Giancarlo Valle, conceals a coat closet.
