Jean Prouvé built three of his pre-fab Maisons Tropicales, and one of them was at the bottom of the Queensboro bridge this weekend, a short dusty cycle from the house. This one, larger than the one currently residing at the Centre Pompidou, was relocated from Brazzaville, where it had lived for about forty years, through two civil wars and numerous elemental assaults. Christie's are selling it on Tuesday, hoping for about $6 milion. Totally amazing, looking from the beautifully restored house accross the river to Manhattan.
