Art House【ASSOULINE】

Art House documents an extraordinary life devoted to the art world and a profound friendship dedicated to designing homes for art. As one of the world’s leading art collectors, Chara Schreyer has amassed an astonishing collection of 600 works of art. Her forty-year collaboration with interior designer Gary Hutton resulted in the creation of five grand residences to house these masterpieces. Art House takes readers on a stunning visual journey through these residences, from architectural masterpieces to high-rise apartments where the concept of “gallery as home” is seamlessly integrated, each space brimming with artistic flair. Schreyer's collection is deeply inspired by academic research and reflects her passion for conceptual art, encompassing all mediums and featuring works by masters such as Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys, Man Ray, Louise Bourgeois, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, and Eva Hesse. It also includes creations by contemporary artists like Gedi Sibony, Rachel Harrison, Glenn Ligon, and Christian Marclay. With a rare and intimate perspective, Art House showcases how these artworks inhabit living spaces, where the design of each room resonates both intellectually and materially with the art. This book features original photography by nationally acclaimed photographer Matthew Millman, with text written by Alisa Carroll, editor of San Francisco’s top design magazine SFC&G, and an introduction by Neal Benezra, director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). Art House serves as an inspirational source for art and design enthusiasts. ** The Ultimate Luxury Coffee Table Book Brand – Assouline ** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54253808020_ff23841a2a_z.jpg Exclusively introduced by Baker-McGuire’s Taiwan flagship store, Assouline, hailed by The New York Times as the “Birkin of Books,” now has its only dedicated brand section in Taiwan.
