Back in the bubblicious glory days, the condo conversion of Chelsea's very lovely 650 Sixth Avenue was greeted by a Michael Shvo marketing blitz proclaiming "white-box gallery living" and appearances on totally awesome reality shows. But the uber-luxe home-as-art-gallery thing kind of fell out of favor once Wall Street died, and Shvo eventually got ousted for Corcoran.
