"Gallery Homes\nAD's look at art that reflects a homeowner's passion while embuing a space with bold character\nArchitect Graham Gund designed and built a house for his family in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Art\u2014big art\u2014spills from room to room. In the living room, it's a full-blown who's who. From left to right, Morris Louis's Untitled Abstract, Jean Dubuffet's Lieux et D\u00E9marches, Lynda Benglis's Isabella Borgward and Hans Hofmann's Sun in the Foliage. At center is Dubuffet's Group of Four Trees. His Legion Etrang\u00E8re is at far right, below Kenneth Noland's Lilium. Alexander Calder's Black Rhombus and Dale Chihuly's End of the Day are above. (November 2003)\nGund's dining room features Steps by Kenneth Noland and, atop a sideboard, Untitled #75, a sculpture by Bennett Bean. A pair of Orivit candlesticks are on the George III table. The chairs are Biedermeier. (November 2003)\nArchitect and interior designer Peter Marino combined contemporary and traditional Southeast Asian elements in a couple's stylish Palm Beach villa. The owners\u2014a low-key couple based in New York\u2014have, with passion and discernment, amassed one of the greatest collections of Southeast Asian art in private hands. In fact, their ancient sculpture was the starting point for the design. Pictured: Stone standing figures are displayed in the living room with a 1935 painting by Fernand L\u00E9ger. (January 2008)\nThe Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, a private museum, showcases the late businessman's collection of over 500 pieces of modern and contemporary art at his Los Angeles estate. Weisman was an intuitive buyer, he took risks and occasionally made mistakes, but his need for art became a drive, and the constantly growing collection eventually challenged the notion of what his house should be. \"Fred thought the furnishings were secondary to the art,\" says Billie Milam Weisman, his second wife and now the director and president of the foundation. \"He felt a lot of people were frightened of contemporary art, and he wanted to put that fear to rest with a setting that was domestic.\" In 1988 the Weismans, having used up all of the wall space in their home, commissioned Los Angeles architect Frank Israel to build a barnlike space as a contemporary gallery for the large-scale art. Pictured: Warhol portraits of Weisman, right, and Marilyn Monroe are in the stairwell of the annex. (May 2005)\nWeisman's annex features works by Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Ed Moses, Sam Francis and Christo, among others. Pictured: In the annex's main gallery, Duane Hanson's 1972 Rocker is between motorcycles made by Keith Haring and LA II in 1987. Donald Judd's Untitled, 1967-80 is at left; at right is Frank Stella's Madinat As-Salam 1, 1970. (May 2005)\nArchitect Thomas Phifer designed a classic modern structure to replace Bunty and Tom Armstrong's fire-ravaged summer house on Fishers Island, New York. \"I got it into my head,\" recalls Armstrong, a former museum director, \"that I wanted to live in the garden with my art. I wanted a steel-and-glass house so I could witness the landscape as I viewed the art. I replaced the natural history prints lost in the fire with a collection of midcentury abstract art. I had wanted to be an artist and have enormous admiration for people who succeeded and pursued their talent.\" Pictured: In the living room, a welded-steel sculpture by Richard Stankiewicz surveys the garden. (October 2010)\nJane and Marc Nathanson\u2014who have personally amassed a museum-magnitude collection of 20th-century paintings and sculpture\u2014hired designer Richard Hallberg to add a gallery to their 1920s Los Angeles residence, but the scope of the project expanded to include renovations of the house's first floor and garden. Pictured: Over the living room's fireplace is a 1960 Franz Kline oil. Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1984-85 GE Tobacco Section is at left. (April 2007)\nHanging in the Nathansons' lower gallery are Katharina Sieverding's Maton 1/4B, 1969/73, left, and William Beckley's 1974 Cibachrome prints, at rear. A Frank Gehry-designed armchair is flanked by a 1986-87 Frank Stella, left, and a 1989 Julian Schnabel. (April 2007)\nArchitects Richard Giegengack and D. C. Broadstone II added two wings to a Georgian-style house in Dallas in order to accommodate the owners' cherished collections, including books, 18th- and 19th-century portraits and Americana that ranges from 3,000 rare documents (among them the autographs of all signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and papers from every president of the United States) to memorabilia like Dwight D. Eisenhower's five-star-general's helmet and a bronze cast of Abraham Lincoln's hands and face. Pictured: Portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Benjamin West and other noted painters hang in the art gallery. (October 2005)\nArt, books and light fill author and historian Barbara Goldsmith's Manhattan apartment, designed by Mica Ertegun, of MAC II. Pictured: The gallery opens to the living room, right, and the dining room/library, left. Moon Garden II, a 1984-88 work by Louise Nevelson, is at center. (December 2006)\nIn Goldsmith's living room, Roy Lichtenstein's Forest Through the Trees, 1983, is at right, near his sculpture Head. Elie Nadelman's Acrobat with Petit Neuf rests on the low table, which was made from a coromandel screen. Stone Roberts's oil Paul and Caro, 1992, above the fireplace, is flanked by Family Group, 1957, by Henry Moore, left, and Baghdad by G\u00FCnter Haese. (December 2006)\n\"I like theatrical surroundings and creating magic whenever I can,\" antiques dealer Lars Bolander says of Bamboo Hill, the South African plantation-style house he designed and shares with his wife, Nadine, in West Palm Beach, Florida. He wanted a dramatically scaled great room with soaring, high-pitched ceilings to accommodate the display of large artworks. (July 2009)\nBolander's extensive collection of furnishings, artworks and objects animates the gracefully restrained interiors, as would be expected of a designer who is as likely to be seen at the annual antiques fair held in Toulouse, France, as in the antiques markets of India, Miami's Design District or the antiques row in West Palm Beach. Pictured: Portraits of Swedish nobility, a Russian coat of arms and renderings of silver pieces hang in a hall between the great room and kitchen. Cone finials and an Indian sculpture are on the French console. (July 2009)\nSting and his wife, Trudie Styler, tapped Lee F. Mindel to renovate their early-18th-century London house. Matisse prints and, above the fireplace, a Picasso are in the living room. The low tables are by Yves Klein; a Barry Flanagan bronze is on the Diego Giacometti side table. (May 2010)\nArchitect and designer Peter Marino converted a Georgian-style club in Manhattan into a \"spirited and vivacious\" residence for a couple and their children. Pictured: To create a living room scaled to their vast collection of modern art, Marino combined four small rooms into one loftlike space. At right is Gilbert and George's Growing Up. (April 2007)\n\"There's a very important aspect to all my work, now more than ever, and it's tying the interior design and architecture with the art,\" says Marino. \"We didn't want to do an all-white space that looked like a generic downtown gallery transplanted uptown. We had to balance the contemporary art with rich finishes.\" Pictured: The first piece of art the couple bought together\u2014Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing #767\u2014dominates a living room sitting area. The pair of slipper chairs are Marino's own design. (April 2007)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
